Editorial Reviews Originally released in January 2006, Alan Jackson s Precious Memories albumwas created as an ode to his mother who, throughout his career, consistently requestedthat Alan record a gospel album. So, Alan recorded Precious Memories with 15 traditionalgospel hymns, never anticipating that anyone, besides his mother, would be interestedin the project. Precious Memories has since sold 1.7 million albums and is currentlyout of circulation, until now. The re-release of Precious Memories on March 27th comes at a time when AlanJackson is as relevant to the country music format, and music in general, than everbefore. As one of the most successful and respected singer-songwriters in music, Alan Jacksonhas sold nearly 60-million albums worldwide, topped the country singles charts 35times, and scored more than 50 Top-10 hits.
