Additional Precious Memories Information
|
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

What Customers Say About Precious Memories:

And the Amazon price was lower than anywhere else I looked. One of the best gospel CD's ever. A must have.
Lynn The price was excellent. Could not believe the speed in receiving this CD. I tried to buy it locally in quite a few stores but they were out. Pleasure to do business with you.
I would recommend this CD to young and old, what a great way to introduce the "old songs" to our younger generations. One of my favorite tracks from the CD is Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, in today's world sometimes that's all we can do. My Mom is having some health issues right now and I bought the CD for her and she told me she hits play on the CD player at least four or five times a day, she told me the CD brought back a lot of good memories and was very calming to her. But in my opinion nothing beats the old church hymns, they have a way of feeding your soul when you need it most. Jackson's special about this CD on the country music channel and I couldn't get the CD ordered fast enough. I had happen to catch Mr. Today's religious/Christian songs are great in their own right and can definitely lift your spirits. This CD was a win/win for me as I love and remember singing the songs sitting next to my Mamaw in church but Alan Jackson's sincere and soothing voice brought the songs into a whole new light for me.
The arrangements of old hymns are well done and fully emphasize the vocals and lyrics. Very special. I am very pleased with the album.
This is not only a great Alan Jackson production, it is a great treasure for those of us who love the "old-timey" Christian music.
