About Carl Jackson

Described by Bluegrass Unlimited magazine as “Bluegrass Music’s MVP”, the Mississippi Musician’s Hall of Fame member and Grammy winner was also recently inducted into the SPBGMA Preservation Hall of Greats.

At a young age, Carl got his start by playing with Jim and Jesse McReynolds and later with The Sullivan Family before forming his own group, “The Country Store.” It wasn’t long before people were taking notice of Carl, and he was invited to play banjo with Glen Campbell. During that time, Carl concentrated on his vocal and songwriting abilities, and eventually struck out on his own.

As a vocalist, you can hear him on recordings with the likes of EmmyLou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Wariner, Garth Brooks, Janie Fricke, Dolly Parton, and many, many more. He has also had great success in songwriting, with his work being sung by many high-caliber artists such as Glen Campbell, Garth Brooks, and Brad Paisley.
