Alan Jackson performs these songs the way they were meant to be sung. There seems to be some today who only want to hear contemporary Christian songs and some who only want to hear the older Christian songs. There is a place for both. Alan Jackson's rendition of these show just how great these old traditional hymns are. Simply sung, simply outstanding.
I've listened to this album at least a hundred times in the
last three days. Being from Nashville and a huge Alan Jackson
fan since his earliest days, just makes this album sweeter.
Alan had an album for his father Drive for Daddy Gene and
his father passed away before it's release. This album wasn't
intended to be released commercialy, but was done at the Ryman
with very few people in attendance,his mother among them.
I think it fits with Alan's roots,and his enduring love for
his family and also his fans. I love it and just for the record
his voice is the purest voice in country music. He never misses
a beat.The inspiration is great and so is he.
I love this recording. As a southern baptist who loves Alan Jackson's music this is pure heaven! The production is key. I was hoping that the songs would not be over compressed and flooded with accents and stringed insturments. This is pure raw sitting in the pew hymns that are sung the way they were written to be sung.
My sister told me about the CD. I'm glad she did. You won't be disappointed. Alan Jackson does a great job singing the old time favorites like Blessed Assurance, How Great Thou Art, The Old Rugged Cross, and he does a wonderful job.
If you're looking for some uplifting music, this is the album you need to get! Alan Jackson presents these old time hymns with feeling. You can't go wrong when you buy this CD.
