Jackson Dean‘s On The Back Of My Dreams is not just another album.

Carefully constructed by Jackson, the 13-track record is intended to take you on a contemplative journey through life, love, joy, comfort, death and everything in between.

“Some of [the tracks] are like [a] rhythm and blues/folk song kind of situation. A couple of them on there are like that. ‘[Heavens to] Betsy’ is this scoring a picture frame just like ‘Big Blue [Sky]’ is,” Jackson tells ABC Audio. “So there’s a couple in the realm of how ‘Big Blue [Sky]’ is written and the way that it’s supposed to be portrayed.”

If you’ve heard “Heavens to Betsy” on radio, you know it’s far from a lighthearted song.

“It’s a very literal song,” says Jackson. “That song is about a daddy looking down on his daughter from the outskirts of heaven. So just like ‘Big Blue [Sky],’ it’s a picture is worth a thousand words.”

On The Back Of My Dreams is available now wherever you listen to music. Its lead single, “Heavens to Betsy,” is making its way up the country charts.
