I picked up a CD by Alan Jackson at a Christian bookstore. I saw he was doing some of the old hymns and Gospel songs. I expected he was going to play in the Alan Jackson "country style". Instead it was a simple, pure versions of these songs using an acoustic guitar, piano, and organ. His family joined in on some of the songs. I learned on Amazon from a review that the songs were originally intended for his mother but he allows us to in a sense sit quietly in the room for this special moment. Anyway, for those who enjoy Alan Jackson and old time gospel music, this is a must have.

Never heard that but I love "When daddy let me drive" and "Where where you when the world stopped turning"

Have you listened to Randy Travis' 'Worship and Praise'. It's Outstanding. I plan to buy Alan Jackson's CD this weekend.

Saw his special on GAC when he performed these songs in the Reiman Auditorium with an audience, including all of his family. Let me tell you, those hymns sung sincerely and purely with some great harmonies - brought me to tears.

If you ever get to see that special don't miss it.

I do have his CD. I am grateful to how God turned his life around.
