Freight Train is the sixteenth studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It is slated for release on March 30th, 2010.^[1] The album's first single, "It's Just That Way", was released in January 2010.

Background

On January 11th 2010, Linda Ryan of "Rhapsody Blog" posted an article named "Most Anticipated Country Albums of 2010", where she included Jackson's Freight Train saying "There are few things in this world more sublime than Alan Jackson singing a slow-burning love song. With his deep, buttery voice, Jackson sounds exceptional when extolling the virtues of love; his new single, "It's Just That Way," is a three-and-a-half-minute slice of romantic bliss. A new Jackson release is always good news for country music lovers, and if the songs on his upcoming album are half as good as this one, the singer will have hit another home run."^[2]

Freight Train is the last album in Jackson's contract with Arista Nashville, the label to which he has been signed since 1989. He told Great American Country that, even though it is his last Arista album, he has no plans to retire.^[3]

In promotion of the album, Every 10th CD pre-ordered from Jackson's website will be Autographed and 500 Numbered Limited-Edition 12x12 Freight Train Autographed Prints will be randomly given away.^[4]
