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

Great Gospel Album March 17, 2006

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.
Incredible March 24, 2006

I have been an Alan Jackson fan for some time and I know I've never heard him sing quite like this. You as the listener are brought into a special place of intimacy and precious memories of Alan Jackson's and the result is a highly-emotional, deeply moving recording. It's truly an incredible experience.
Pure Country March 14, 2006

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.
Pure, Simple, Genious! February 28, 2006

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.
Simple, Elegant, Inspired ... Achingly Beautiful April 10, 2006

There's a sincerity and simplicity to this album that is simply beautiful. Perhaps it's because the album was originally recorded as a special gift to Alan's mother -- I found this album quite moving. The opening track, "Blessed Assurance," sets the tone and each track has its own special offering. This is a wonderful album, sung in a heartfelt way by Alan Jackson.
