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

WOW! Beautiful music! January 7, 2009
This CD was better than expected! So relaxing. I highly recommend this one if you like Gospel Music. I can't believe how fast I received my order!
 Memory Lane December 26, 2008
If you love Alan Jackson's voice and you grew up in a southern USA church in mid-twentieth century as I do/did, you will enjoythese "goldie-oldie" hymns and the memories they invoke. If you're younger than I, give this cd to your parents or grandparents. They'll love it!
Alan Jackson Gets It Right! November 15, 2008
I do not need to add much more to what has already been said, except this: I am not a country music fan whatsoever, but I love this CD! Alan sings with a humility that is not always found on other hymn collections. Sometimes it seems as if other perfomers want to "show off" their vocal skills and so the message of the song takes second place. It's not that way with Alan. You can actually sing along with him and the words of the song take precedence. It is a keeper!
Precious memories November 6, 2008
I am ordering another copy to have in my home. I listen in my car and Alan brings tears to my eyes with precious memories of times in the past - these hymns are "soul food." The songs are wonderful and his voice is amazing. Truly a keeper!
