Newnan’s Jacksons Coming Home

jackson.0722ar.JPG

It was already a big deal from the start: Country superstar Alan Jackson and his successful author wife, Denise, coming back to Newnan Tuesday to be given the first Richard Brooks Award — along with late writer Erskine Caldwell — for their contributions to the arts in Coweta County.

But you know, Denise has a new book out (“The Road Home”). So before the 7 p.m. ceremony April 29 at the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts (1523 Lower Fayetteville Rd.) , she will be signing it and her first best-seller (“It’s All About Him”) at 2 p.m. at Scotts Books (28 S Court Square, 770-253-2960) in Newnan.

Now we just learned this afternoon that hubby will join his wife (shown above on their wedding day — everybody saw “awwww”) in the signing, offering up his “Alan Jackson” to his recent No. 1 CD, “Good Time”. It will be the first one they’ve ever done together.

Planning to make your way to Newnan this Tuesday? Or are you already there, and have known the Jacksons for years? Heard “Good Time” and/or read “The Road Home”, and if so, what grades would you give them?
