Barbara Mandrell To Release ‘Precious Memories: 20 Hymns & Gospel Classics’ Digitally
Barbara Mandrell is releasing her album Precious Memories: 20 Hymns & Gospel Classics digitally for the first time in celebration of the album’s 35th anniversary, on March 15.
She has released the first digital track, “Where Could I Go (But to the Lord),” from the timeless album of heartfelt renditions of gospel classics. Produced by Tom Collins, Precious Memories: 20 Hymns & Gospel Classics returns Mandrell to her roots, highlighting her deep connection with gospel music. The digital release of this collection includes the standards “The Old Rugged Cross,” “Blessed Assurance” and “In the Garden,” among others.
“When I recorded this album in 1989, I chose a group of songs that I grew up listening to and singing,” says Mandrell. “They are songs that I still cherish to this day. It’s an honor and thrill to think that 35 years later, this music will have the opportunity to touch a new generation of fans. I’m so thankful the folks at Gaither believe in this record as much today as I did back then.”
The first single will be featured on Gaither Radio on Pandora and Amazon, as well as Apple Music’s Front Porch Country Gospel collections, in addition to a number of label playlists on online platforms. It will be featured on the Gaither Music TV YouTube channel and highlighted on the Gaither Facebook page.
