SHARE COUNTRY SINGER IS PUT OFF BY THE `STAR’ PART OF FAME

Alan Jackson's latest album is titled "Who I Am." But the country singer says he isn't really comfortable talking about himself.

"I guess I'm just kind of introverted," he said. "I've just always been that way.""The people that work for me call me a hermit," Jackson said in an interview published Sunday in the Los Angeles Times. "I just don't really like the star part of the business.

"I like making records and singing and writing songs," Jackson, 35, said.
