Songs I Grew Up On with Jackson Dean

Country singer Jackson Dean sits down with The Nash News to let us know about the songs that have influenced him the most. Dean shows incredible songwriting skills and raw talent as a performer. The young artist grew up in a small town in Maryland, and his rural roots are evident in his music. With standout tracks like "Fearless," and his first song to hit the charts, "Don’t Come Lookin.’" Dean's style combines traditional country instrumentation with a modern edge. The singer's love for storytelling and honest lyrics shines through in each song, making him an artist to watch.

1. “When The Levee Breaks” Led Zeppelin

Dean notes that he has a heart for intense drums and rock and roll. This was an obvious

choice for Dean. He says about the tune, “Everybody knows that song is one of the

dopest songs of all time.”

2. “Where Rainbows Never Die” Steeldrivers

Dean feels a strong connection to this track, even wanting it to be played when he dies.

This record contains one of Dean’s favorite fiddle solos and has a special place in his

heart. He shares, “That's one of the first records that I wore out, I don’t know I listen

to it all the time.”

3. “The Devil’s Waitin’” Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

The Maryland native draws inspiration from this song even today. He uses this song as a

reference when writing and developing his own music, and finds a strong sense of

connection to the song.
