Jackson Re-Releases Gospel Album

/by

Alan Jackson has re-released his 2006 gospel album Precious Memories, which topped the Billboard Top Country Albums, Top Christian Albums and Top Christian & Gospel Albums on its week of release. The album, produced by Keith Stegall, will be released on ACR (Alan’s Country Records) and EMI Records Nashville.

The 15-track collection of classic hymns was originally recorded as a Christmas gift for Jackson’s mother.

“I love those songs, and they mean a lot to me,” Jackson says. “I grew up singing just about every one of those. And I love that sound, of that organ, and that music really stuck with me and, I’m sure, affected how I hear songs now and write songs, ‘cause a lot of those old songs are really pretty, simple melodies that stick with you.”

GAC (Great American Country) will re-air the Precious Memories special this Easter weekend – Saturday, April 7 9:30 pm CT, and Sunday, April 8 1:30 am CT and 8:30 am CT.
