EVERYTHING I LOVE was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Album.
As long as there are whiskey, temptation and heartache, there will be country songs to be sung, and artists like Alan Jackson to sing them. Jackson may be a pop star by this point in his career, but he is a traditionalist at heart. The songs on EVERYTHING I LOVE, several of which he wrote himself, could easily have been sung by George Jones 20 years ago, and it is to Jackson's credit that he doesn't try to remold country music in his own image. Rather, he works within the strictures of the genre, preferring to push the envelope from the inside out.
Toward this end, Jackson employs the services of some longtime Nashville session staples, including pianist Hargus "Pig" Robbins and hotshot fiddler/mandolinist Stuart Duncan. From the existential bounce of the Tom T. Hall-penned opener, "Little Bitty," to the heart-on-a-flannel-sleeve romantic despair of the title cut, EVERYTHING I LOVE offers new perspectives on the things that have made good ol' boys laugh, cry and shoot their television sets since time immemorial.

Spin (2/97, p.91) - "...offers the repetitiveness of pure formula: ten songs, played by the same supple studio musicians who spruce up everyone else's records, with one fun oldie...homespun wordplay...and honky-tonk weepers delivered in a twang worth leaning into. Song quality guaranteed..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/1/96, p.71) - "While so many of his country contemporaries rush headlong into the middle of the road, Jackson still keeps it lean and pure..." - Rating: A-
Q (12/99, pp.160-2) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...just a lot of good songs about separation, fathers and sons, Jack Daniel's, love, beer and television."
