Zach Top Proves He Was Born To Sing Alan Jackson With This Cover of a True 90s Anthem

American Songwriter · 1 day ago

Country singer Zach Top performed a well-received cover of Alan Jackson's 1991 hit "Don't Rock the Jukebox" at the 10th annual Pendleton Whisky Music Fest in Pendleton, Oregon, staying faithful to the original while showcasing his own vocal ability. The performance is the latest instance linking Top to Jackson, whose musical style Top has often been compared to, sparking an online joke that he was secretly Jackson's son.

Top has addressed the "secret child" rumour directly, revealing he briefly met Jackson and his wife but avoided bringing up the conspiracy, having heard they were not keen on the joking. The cover comes as Top rides high on his Cold Beer & Country Music Tour, which began in June and runs until 30 October in Nashville, following a breakout year that saw his album "Ain't in It for My Health" earn him the CMA's Best New Artist award and a Grammy for Best Traditional Country Album; he has said fame in country music remains fairly low-key compared with other entertainment fields.
