\"Till the End\" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Vern Gosdin. It was released in June 1977 as the third single and title track from his album of the same name. Janie Fricke was the featured female vocalist on the track. The song reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in August 1977.[1] Gosdin wrote the song with his then-wife Cathy.
More than 30 years later, Alan Jackson recorded a cover version of \"Till the End\" for his 2010 album Freight Train. It is a duet recorded with Lee Ann Womack.
Alan Eugene Jackson (born October 17, 1958) is an American country singer and songwriter. He is known for honoring a “traditional country” musical style, and for penning many of his own songs. Jackson has recorded 16 studio albums, three greatest hits albums, two Christmas albums, and two gospel albums.
Jackson has sold over 80 million records, with 66 titles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Of the 66 titles, and six featured singles, 38 have reached the top five and 35 have claimed the number one spot. Out of 15 titles to reach the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, nine have been certified multi-platinum. He is the recipient of two Grammy Awards, 16 CMA Awards, 17 ACM Awards and nominee of multiple other awards. He is a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 2001. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017 by Loretta Lynn and into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018.
Freight Train is the sixteenth studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released on March 30, 2010.[1] The album's first single, \"It's Just That Way\", was released on January 4, 2010.
Background
Freight Train is the last album in Jackson's contract with Arista Nashville, the label to which he has been signed since 1989. He told Great American Country that, even though it is his last Arista album, he has no plans to retire.[2]
On January 11, 2010, Linda Ryan of \"Rhapsody Blog\" posted an article named \"Most Anticipated Country Albums of 2010\", where she included Jackson's Freight Train saying \"There are few things in this world more sublime than Alan Jackson singing a slow-burning love song. With his deep, buttery voice, Jackson sounds exceptional when extolling the virtues of love; his new single, \"It's Just That Way,\" is a three-and-a-half-minute slice of romantic bliss. A new Jackson release is always good news for country music lovers, and if the songs on his upcoming album are half as good as this one, the singer will have hit another home run #AlanJackson #CountryMusic #CountryClassic #RonjasCountryMusic
