What I Do
What I Do is the twelfth studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released on September 7, 2004, and produced four singles for Jackson on the Hot Country Songs charts: "Too Much of a Good Thing" and "Monday Morning Church" both reached #5, while "The Talkin' Song Repair Blues" and "USA Today" both reached #18. What I Do, however, was the first album of his career not to produce any #1 hits.-Wikipedia

September 7, 2004. Filled with straightforward, unadorned honky tonk and gentle, rolling ballads, What I Do makes it clear that Jackson doesn't have the slightest interest in becoming a full-fledged, crossover country-pop star. This is the purest country album he's cut in a long time, but what makes it one of his very best albums isn't its purity, it's how it's delivered with a quiet confidence, a big heart, and a sly sense of humor.

September 7, 2004. What I Do is a proclamation of faiths. The belief in his musical ability, the knowledge of love overriding all and, of course, the devastation of loss are all represented, as well as the birth of new-man Jackson in the form of "If French Fries Were Fat Free" . . . .

My Kind of Country
March 23, 2010. This particular album was released September 9, 2004, and is one of the strongest albums Alan recorded in the past decade. It’s one of the albums I reference when I am talking about how traditional country should have evolved.

Alan Jackson's fans are in danger of becoming blas+ as their hero puts forth another fine album of rootsy mainstream country music.
