Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
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

Outstanding music from the traditional church. Alan did a great job with the old songs. Very well done. Recommended for anyone looking for spiritual music.

Alan Jackson was definitely inspired when he performed Precious Memories. Our family plays it as a background for our home during quiet times, devotions, and reading. Love it so much we bought more copies for friends.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD   April 25, 2008
This is a great CD if you're over 45. Good old time Church music. Alan is the greatest. I like to listen to this when I'm angry or tense. It's very soothing.
