===Mid-to-late 1990s=== ''[[The Greatest Hits Collection (Alan Jackson album)|The Greatest Hits Collection]]'' was released on October 24, 1995. The disc contained 17 hits, two newly recorded songs ("[[I'll Try]]" and "[[Tall, Tall Trees]]"), and the song "[[Home (Alan Jackson song)|Home]]" from ''Here in the Real World'' that had never been released as a single.<ref>Price, Deborah Evans (September 16, 1995), [http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=afh&AN=9509295833&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live "20, count `em, 20 Jackson hits"]. ''Billboard''. '''107''' (37):32.</ref> These first two songs both made number one. ''[[Everything I Love (Alan Jackson album)|Everything I Love]]'' followed in 1996. Its first single, the [[Tom T. Hall]]-penned "[[Little Bitty]]", took Jackson to the top of the charts in late 1996. The album also included the number one hit "[[There Goes]]" and a number two cover of [[Charly McClain]]'s 1980 single "[[Who's Cheatin' Who]]". The album's fifth single was "[[A House with No Curtains]]", which became his first release since 1989 to miss the top 10.<ref name="whitburn" /> 1998's ''[[High Mileage]]'' was led off by the number four "[[I'll Go On Loving You]]". After it came the album's only number one hit, "[[Right on the Money]]", co-written by [[Phil Vassar]] and [[Charlie Black]]. With Jackson's release of ''[[Under the Influence (Alan Jackson album)|Under the Influence]]'' in 1999, he took the double risk on an album of covers of country classics while retaining a traditional sound when a [[rock music|rock]]- and [[pop music|pop]]-tinged sound dominated country radio.<ref>Flippo, Chet (September 25, 1999), "Jackson returns to roots with traditional set; Arista/Nashville seeks sound's revival". ''Billboard''. '''111''' (39):38</ref> When the Country Music Association (CMA) asked [[George Jones]] to trim his act to 90 seconds for the 1999 CMA awards, Jones decided to boycott the event. In solidarity, Jackson interrupted his own song and launched into Jones's song "Choices" and then walked offstage.<ref>Peyser, Mark; Alisha Davis; William Underhill (October 4, 1999), [http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=afh&AN=2308921&loginpage=login.asp&site=ehost-live "Newsmakers"]. ''Newsweek''. '''134''' (14):78.</ref>
