<P> Actress Gaby Rodgers is cited as co-author of "Jackson", because Leiber used his then - wife's name as a pseudonym in writing the song with Wheeler . First recorded in 1963 by Wheeler, he explains the evolution of the song, and Leiber's contribution: </P> <P>' Jackson' came to me when I read the script for Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (I was too broke to see the play on Broadway)... When I played it for Jerry (Leiber), he said' Your first verses suck,' or words to that effect .' Throw them away and start the song with your last verse, "We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout ."' When I protested to Jerry that I couldn't start the song with the climax, he said,' Oh, yes you can .' So I rewrote the song and thanks to Jerry's editing and help, it worked . I recorded the song on my first Kapp Records album, with Joan Sommer, an old friend from Berea, Kentucky, singing the woman's part . Johnny Cash learned the song from that album, A New Bag of Songs, produced by Jerry and Mike . </P> <P> There has been much speculation regarding which Jackson the song is about; but, according to Wheeler, "Actually, I didn't have a specific Jackson in mind . I just liked the sharp consonant sound, as opposed to soft - sounding words like Nashville ." Though Wheeler had no particular Jackson in mind when writing the song, subsequent recordings have narrowed attributions to Jackson, Tennessee: The previous source also quotes Charlie Daniels as having recorded "Jackson" with these lines, "I ain't talking' bout Jackson, Mississippi . I'm talking' bout Jackson, Tennessee". And, Johnny Cash is quoted in the video from the same source: "Well, I was gonna take her down to see Carl Perkins in Jackson ." Carl Perkins lived in Jackson, Tennessee . </P> <P> The song is about a married couple who find (according to the lyrics) that the "fire" has gone out of their relationship . It relates the desire of both partners to travel to "Jackson" where they each expect to be welcomed as someone far better suited to the city's lively night life than the other is . </P>
