The current slogan for the city is - City with Soul. Jackson is ranked 3rd out of Americas 100 largest metro areas for the best -Bang For Your Buck- city according to Forbes magazine.

Rap rocker Kid Rock made a song about Jackson, aptly titled - Jackson, Mississippi, in 2003.

The Rolling Stones sat -in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson- in their song Country Honk on the 1969 album Let It Bleed. And on the street the summer sun it shines. There is many a bar-room queen I've had in Jackson, but I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.
