Alan Jackson - Precious Memories Album

The Precious Memories album offers 15 hymns from Alan Jackson’s youth that are presented with a kind of spare instrumentation which makes them that much more beautiful. Most of today’s country singers don’t look back to their roots at all, but Jackson is different. He’s not afraid to tackle the timeless gospel tunes like "I'll Fly Away," "Softly and Tenderly," "How Great Thou Art," "Are You Washed in the Blood?," and "The Old Rugged Cross.” I’ve heard that these songs were originally recorded as a Christmas gift to his mother. Now, Jackson shares his incredible musical gift with all of us.
