“What an amazing man and creative individual… Mr. Carl Jackson. I continue to be amazed by Carl, as an artist, a person and as a friend. His dedication to ‘living a good life’ and creating perfection in all he does is very inspiring. This new project is an outstanding example of the brilliance of a master craftsman in his prime.” Robert Weingartz, Chairman / Creator – AirPlay Direct
The immediate success at global radio and the music industry that “Orthophonic Joy” has experienced is nothing short of outstanding on the APD Global Radio Indicator Charts! This record made its mark in the APD Charts as the #8 Country Album of “All-Time”… and #24 of “All-Time” on the “Top 50” across all genres in less than a month!
“I’ve always loved history and the story of how Bristol became the ‘Birthplace of Country Music’ is a fascinating one to me. Recording ‘Orthophonic Joy’ was a wonderful experience that hopefully breathes new life into many wonderful old songs shining a spotlight on the ‘big bang of Country Music’ that occurred in 1927.” Carl Jackson
Carl’s award winning solo album “Grace Notes” also had a significant impact at global radio over the last couple of years taking the #26 position of “All-Time” on the APD Bluegrass Album Chart.
“Grace Notes is the most personal project I’ve made. My parents encouraged me to record a lot of the classic hymns I used to play while sitting around the home in Mississippi. I decided to include commentary about the history of each of the twelve different guitars I used as a bonus.” Carl Jackson
Carl’s masterpiece “Mark Twain Words & Music” is the #1 most downloaded Americana Album of “All-Time” on the APD Global Radio Indicator Charts for the last several years and #9 of “All-Time” on the “Top 50” Chart across all genres.

“Producing ‘Mark Twain: Words & Music’ made me a bigger fan of Samuel Clemens than I already was. I consider him to be America’s greatest author. I did my best to tell the story of his incredible life, not only with his own words, but with melodies and lyrics befitting of the man.” Carl Jackson
