The Bluegrass Album is the nineteenth studio album and the first bluegrass album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released on September 24, 2013 via Alan's Country Records and EMI Nashville. Jackson wrote eight songs for the album. It also includes covers of The Dillards' "There Is a Time", John Anderson's "Wild and Blue" and Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky". Also included is a re-recording of "Let's Get Back to Me and You" from his 1994 album Who I Am, marking the second time Jackson has included two versions of the same song on two different albums ("A Woman's Love" was originally recorded for High Mileage and was later re-recorded for Like Red on a Rose).
"Blue Ridge Mountain Song" was released as a single in advance of the album's release. "Blacktop" was also released as a single. Both songs feature music videos. The music video for "Blue Ridge Mountain Song" stars Jackson’s middle daughter, Ali, as the lead role.
