After a string of national hits, Alan Jackson could have been complacent. But after the sudden death of his close friend and manager, Roy Wunsch, Alan fell into a period of deep reflection. He couldn’t find meaning in the spotlight that had once fueled his life. On a trip back to his hometown of Newnan, Georgia, Alan stopped by the small church where his mother had once sung in the choir. There, he bowed his head, prayed quietly, and sensed something larger was guiding him. He rewrote “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go” not just as a song—but as a commitment. From then on, his career became more than just a musical journey—it was a journey of faith, as he chose to follow the path God had led him, however unsavory it might be.
