Alan Jackson Gives Zac Brown 1966 Cadillac El Dorado

A Grand Ole Opry member and hall of famer, who received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in April 2010, Alan Jackson apparently offered Zac Brown a sparkling white vintage 1966 Cadillac El Dorado convertible as a thank-you gift.

Country crooner Alan Jackson was pleased to have sung along with The Zac Brown Band on their latest hit, "As She's Walking Away." The tune has been nominated for a Grammy Award (for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals) this year.

Zac Brown was surprised to receive the honky tonk hero's sweet gift shortly before the Zac Brown Band's December 29^th concert, held at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The vintage Caddy was delivered backstage, where Zac Brown was astonished to discover the gift.

"I will pay it forward," Zac Brown said (alluding to the 2000 motion picture, starring Haley Joel Osment, Kevin Spacey, Jay Mohr, Zack Duhame , David Ramsey, Jim Caviezel, Helen Hunt, Jon Bon Jovi, Angie Dickinson and others). "What an amazing night, amazing friend, amazing car - and if I want to pull a Hank Sr., I now have the ride to do it in."

During the December 29^th concert, Alan Jackson took to the stage as a surprise to join The Zac Brown Band in performing "As She's Walking Away" for the sold out Music City crowd.

"I think Zac is one of the coolest new talents to come along," Alan Jackson explained. "He's a Georgia boy like me. It was an honor to be on his record."

"As She's Walking Away" is the first hit single from The Zac Brown Band's 2010 album, titled "You Get What You Give." The popular country music song is also featured on Alan Jackson's latest album, "34 Number Ones," which includes his new cover version of Johnny Cash's classic tune, "Ring of Fire."
