Alan Jackson Mourns Texas Flood Victims with $1.5M Donation and Heartbreaking Song Kerr County, Texas — The tragic news has left the state in silence: all 27 girls who went missing during the July 4th floods at Camp Mystic have now been confirmed dead. Across Texas, the death toll has risen to 104 in one of the worst natural disasters in state history. As the grief deepens, a familiar name quietly stepped forward—not with a press conference, but with action and heartbreak. Alan Jackson, now 76, has donated $1.5 million to help the families of the victims and support first responders. There were no cameras. No interviews. He simply gave—and then vanished into a small studio near Black Country. There, with no band and no production, he picked up his guitar and poured his sorrow into a new version of “Tell That Angel I Love Her.” Stripped down and trembling with emotion, the recording feels less like a song and more like a prayer whispered through tears. It’s not polished. But it’s real. And for many across Texas, it’s become the one voice that truly understands their pain.

In 1990, when country music was starting to get polished to please the mainstream, Alan Jackson showed up — with an acoustic guitar, a white cowboy hat, and the truth. He didn’t come to Nashville to become a star. He came to tell stories people were starting to forget: the sound of wind through a small-town porch, dirt roads, family bonds, and honesty in every lyric. From “Here in the Real World” to “Drive,” “Small Town Southern Man,” and “Remember When,” Alan has always lived by one simple rule: love deeply, live slowly, and never forget who you are. “I’m not much of a talker. But music can say it for me.” And maybe… he did that better than anyone else ever could.
