Alan Jackson: Precious Memories
CML call number: CD/GOSPEL/Jackson
Contents: Blessed Assurance, Softly and Tenderly, I Love to Tell the Story, When We All Get to Heaven, 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, In the Garden, Are You Washed in the Blood?, I'll Fly Away, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, Standing on the Promises, Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, The Old Rugged Cross, How Great Thou Art, I Want to Stroll over Heaven with You.
Ralph Novak wrote in People: "Jackson's sweet, true voice is ideally suited to gospel, so he's right at home on this intimate collection, originally recorded as a Christmas present for his mother. Backed only by guitar and keyboards, Jackson passionately sings familiar hymns like 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus' and 'How Great Thou Art,' but never indulges in the histrionics some pop singers succumb to when they perform gospel. The informal, homey feeling of the album is most precious on ''Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,' which includes backup vocals by Jackson's wife, Denise, and their daughters Mattie and Ali" ("Picks & Pans: Music," 4/3/06).
