By the Numbers
High Mileage is a split-authorship record that leans on Alan Jackson's own pen. He wrote five of the ten songs alone, including the singles 'Gone Crazy' and 'Little Man,' so his legal name Alan Eugene Jackson carries the composer credit on half the album. The other half comes from Nashville writers: Charlie Black and Phil Vassar wrote the number-one single 'Right on the Money,' and Kieran Kane wrote the ballad 'I'll Go On Loving You.' Keith Stegall produced the whole album, the long-running partnership behind Jackson's neotraditional sound.
High Mileage is the seventh studio album by American country singer Alan Jackson, released on September 1, 1998, on Arista Nashville. Produced by Keith Stegall, it holds to the neotraditional country sound Jackson built his career on, with fiddle, steel guitar, and plainspoken writing across ten tracks. Jackson wrote five of the songs himself, including 'Gone Crazy,' 'Little Man,' and 'A Woman's Love,' while outside writers supplied the rest, among them the Kieran Kane ballad 'I'll Go On Loving You.' The album debuted at number one on the Top Country Albums chart and reached number four on the Billboard 200. It produced four Hot Country Songs hits: 'Right on the Money' at number one, 'I'll Go On Loving You' at number three, 'Gone Crazy' at number four, and 'Little Man' at number three.
