Who I Am Songwriting Credits by Alan Jackson

Who I Am splits cleanly between Alan Jackson the writer and Alan Jackson the interpreter. He wrote 'Livin' on Love,' 'You Can't Give Up on Love,' 'Job Description,' and 'Let's Get Back to Me and You' on his own, and co-wrote 'Hole in the Wall' and 'If I Had You' with Jim McBride and 'I Don't Even Know Your Name' with bar patrons Ron Jackson and Andy Loftin. The record's two signature moments are not his: 'Summertime Blues' is a cover of the Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart rock-and-roll standard, and the number-one 'Gone Country' was written by veteran Nashville songwriter Bob McDill. Other outside cuts include Rodney Crowell's 'Song for the Life' and the title track by Harley Allen and Mel Besher. In the composer column the legal names surface where they differ from the professional credit: Alan Eugene Jackson, Edward Raymond Cochran, Jerry Neal Capehart, and Robert Lee McDill.
