Alan Jackson performs in Atlanta

Georgia native Alan Jackson headlined a country music festival in Atlanta.

Alan Jackson headlines the annual Kicks 101.5 Country Fair 2012, held Saturday at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta. The nearly sold-out concert featured Alan Jackson, Clay Walker, Jana Kramer and Corbette Jackson, with Kix Brooks serving as emcee.

Newnan native and long-serving country superstar Jackson performs "I Don't Even Know Your Name" at the annual Kicks 101.5 Country Fair.

Jackson interacts with the folks down front as he performs his 1994 No. 1 hit "Gone Country" at the Kicks Country Fair in 2012. The Newnan native will get this year's Chastain Concert Series going in April.

Jackson performs "I Don't Even Know Your Name," one of four No. 1 hits from his 1994 album "Who I Am," at the annual Kicks 101.5 Country Fair.

Clay Walker, who released his first album in 1993, just a few years after Jackson's debut, performs at the annual Kicks 101.5 Country Fair.

Like Alan Jackson. Clay Walker enjoyed a string of No. 1 hits in the early 1990s. Unlike Jackson, however, Walker's chart performance has been more modest in the new millennium, though he's still managed to score five Top 10 hits since 2000.

Jana Kramer might be better known as an actress ("One Tree Hill," "Friday Night Lights") than a singer, but she released her debut album in June.

Corbette Jackson was among the performers at the Kicks Country Fair. He spent most of his life as "the other Alan Jackson" from Newnan, but now that he's making waves in the music industry, he's going by his middle name.

Kix Brooks, formerly of Brooks & Dunn, served as the emcee at the annual Kicks 101.5 Country Fair.
