Most country stars who have reached superstardom reach for a genre that is dear to them, and in this case, Alan Jackson had been asked often by his mother to do gospel music. After his father died, he presented his mother with a gift on Christmas morning, a CD of music from their roots. Released in 2006, it is a gift to all who love the deep rich voice of Jackson and those who cherish music like no other, gospel music.

You will hear interviews with his wife Denise and her mother, and also Alan's mother. We get an invitation to his home in Newnan Georgia, and chat with his sisters. The musical Jackson family in Newnan performs a tune at the gravesite of his father. Included is a performance with some family members.

The selections here are recognizable to the average gospel listener with the Old Rugged Cross and In the Garden, two of the most popular gospel songs ever written. Jackson wrote I Want to Stroll Over Heaven With You, for his mother who will one day meet his father in Heaven.

The selections are: Blessed Assurance; In the Garden; I Love To Tell The Story; Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus; 'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus;

When We All Get To Heaven; Softly And Tenderly; Standing On the Promises; Are You Washed In the Blood/I'll Fly Away; What A Friend We Have In Jesus.

Leaning On the Everlasting Arms; The Old Rugged Cross; How Great Thou Art. I recommend the companion CD Precious Memories. Pop this in on a quiet Sunday morning, you will enjoy it! ....... Rizzo

If you only buy one gospel DVD/CD this year, this should be it. Alan Jackson gives a live, invitation only, performance at the Ryman for family & friends.

I saw this Alan Jackson performance on CMT along with my wife. I told her she could hire Alan to sing at my funeral. These are great gospel songs performed by one of my favorite country stars. I think it is a must have for every country music fan.

We have had the CD by same title and now have the DVD. AWESOME. We are great country fans and one of our favorites is AJ.

This is a great DVD. I bought it for my 4 year old, who is obsessed with Alan Jackson. His voice carries the songs and the interviews hold my son's attention as well.

this dvd is really special and i really enjoyed the spiritual hymns. reminds me of my youth at sunday school,many years ago here in australia.

I have never been much on hymns. I like Christian Rock a lot better. Alan's "Precious Memories" made me eat my words. I have never heard any hymns sung any clearer or more beautiul by anybody. This is one of the sweetest, most relaxing collections anywhere.

Many songs that I grew up listening to & gave many memories & a great feeling while listening to many classics from years ago..Excellant !!!

This was a perfect gift for our four-year-old daughter! She loves to sing along with Alan as he performs what he refers to as "some of the old Hymns that I was raised on". A wonderful DVD for the entire family!

I ordered this for My Wife for Christmas. I received it Days before Christmas, & She was ecstatic....Great Music, Heart Felt Narration, & an all around Good Time. Worth the Money !! ENJOY !!!!
