Drive is the tenth studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson.
Released in 2002 on Arista Nashville, the album produced Jackson’s highest-debuting single on the Hot Country Songs charts in the Number One hit ˝Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)˝, a ballad written in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. ˝Drive (For Daddy Gene)˝, ˝Work in Progress˝, and ˝That’d Be Alright˝ were also released as singles, peaking at #1, #3, and #2, respectively, on the same chart; ˝Designated Drinker˝ also reached #44 without officially being released.
In addition, all four released singles crossed over to pop radio and cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #28, #28, #35 and #29, respectively
