Jackson visits "Precious Memories" again

Monday, March 18, 2013 – Alan Jackson will release his second gospel album, "Precious Memories Volume II," on March 26.

The collection of traditional hymns is the follow-up to his 2006 album "Precious Memories," which topped three Billboard charts - Top Country Albums, Top Christian Albums and Top Christian & Gospel Albums - the week it was released.

"Precious Memories Volume II" was produced by Jackson's long-time producer, Keith Stegall; the album will be released by ACR (Alan's Country Records) and EMI Records Nashville.

"Denise and I had made a list of 30 to 40 songs to do for that first album," Jackson said of he and his wife. "We had so many that we didn't get to, I thought we'd go in and do a few more just the same way - heartfelt and simple."

The original set was recorded as a Christmas gift for Jackson's mother, and a handful of copies were shared with close friends. Prompted and urged by family and friends, Jackson agreed to make the music available to fans. The disc went double Platinum for sales of 2 million units.

Songs on the new disc are:

1.) Amazing Grace
2.) He Lives
3.) Just As I Am
4.) Love Lifted Me
5.) O How I Love Jesus
6.) Only Trust Him
7.) There Is Power In The Blood
8.) Precious Memories
9.) Sweet Hour of Prayer
10.) When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
11.) Wherever He Leads I'll Go

More than 20 by any count, 30-plus when one considers solo, duet and group offerings, including his most recent success as part of the Earls of Leicester. Aside from a brief flirtation with the ...
CD review - Angels and Alcohol Alan Jackson, circa 2015, now might be, unfortunately, considered a retro artist. Jackson, thankfully, does not veer from his traditional country beat on his first new studio disc in three years. It's the traditional sound that makes him a throwback today. In an age of rock and rap meshing with country, Jackson will have none of that on this meat-and-potatoes rendering. Jackson's viewpoint has always been about the simple truths of life. He makes that clear in the leadoff track, ...
CD review - The Bluegrass Album Alan Jackson makes his statement crystal clear with the title - "The Bluegrass Album." The traditional country singer has "gone bluegrass," although the idea of a bluegrass disc should not come off as all that far fetched. Yes, there's no pedal steel here, but the sounds, subject and voice are not very different from a typical AJ disc. And this is not the first time that Jackson has veered off the straight and narrow path as his gospel albums indicated. ...
