Description of Precious Memories:
A few decades ago nearly every country singer had at least one--often more--gospel albums in their catalog. Today, aside from gospel veteran Amy Grant, who balances the sacred and secular, and Randy Travis, that concept has long faded. For Alan Jackson, however, treating the musical past as present has been a way of life, as it is with these 15 timeless hymns from his youth. Recorded with just two acoustic guitars and a piano, it was originally a private Christmas present to his mother. The spare instrumentation is surprisingly robust behind his flawless readings of "I'll Fly Away," "Softly and Tenderly," "How Great Thou Art," "Are You Washed in the Blood?," and "The Old Rugged Cross," all as beguilingly unpretentious as any of his country hits. Instead of an all-star duet, wife Denise and daughters Mattie and Ali join in on "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus." In the end, what began as a private bequest becomes a moving, eloquent gift to Jackson's entire audience. --Rich Kienzle

Great Hymns 
2009-11-30 - This is a really great CD if you like country music and enjoy good old hymns. Jackson does a good job of capturing the hymns in a country style. I really enjoy this cd.
Goes to the soul
2009-11-24 - I play this CD in my car as I do my errands around town and it makes the experience a lot easier. I love the old hymns from my childhood and this is
like a visit to church. I ordered this CD because of the song "In the Garden".
It is the most touching hymn ever written.
