 - GREAT SONGSGreat collection of all the classic songs we used to sing in church growing up. Rating: - Precious Memories by Alan JacksonExcellent product. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the CD. Product was shipped in a very timely manner. Rating: - Precious MemoriesFor several months, I had been looking for a cd with many of the old hymns that I grew hearing and singing in curhch. I opened up dozens of cds on Amazon to listen to samples and just didn't find the "right" one until I heard Alan Jackson's "Precious Memories" cd. WOW! I'm not even a country music fan, but he sang every song in such a way that sweet, precious memories just filled my heart with joy. Each selection was done so simply and beautifully. I love it! slb Rating: - You will love this albumThis album by Alan Jackson is one of the most inspirational ones that I've ever purchased. The way Alan sings these classic hymns is timeless and touching. I've loved this album so much that I obtained copies for friends at church who have all said that I had no idea of how much they loved this album. One thing that I will definately recommend to readers of this review- you MUST buy the companion DVD in which Alan Jackson performs these songs live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. The DVD includes 2 songs that weren't shown on the CMT presentation. Alan really gets the joint jumping during the renditions of "Are You Washed in the Blood/I'll Fly Away" The DVD is available through this website. Please get it! Rating:  - Get Randy Travis insteadNot bad, but I still thought a lot of it was over-instrumentalized and some of the timing/tempo was awkward (too slow and/or had lost the rhythm). Randy Travis' _Worship & Faith_ is less melodramatic and easier to sing with.
