The American SetMusic Row's Sound for a Quiet Anniversary
Alan Jackson's live recording of "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" is out now, arriving as the country marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. It is the kind of release Music Row handles without fanfare — a song already known by heart, captured live rather than reworked or reissued. This week, as Americans take a moment to reflect, it is a Nashville song, cut here a quarter century ago, doing what it was written to do: giving people somewhere to sit with the date.
