Precious Memories»rank: 533by: Alan Jackson
: :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 ... |

Let It Be Christmas»rank: 682by: Alan Jackson
: :Unlike 1993's classic Honky Tonk Christmas, which was almost entirely original tunes, 10 of these 11 tracks are well-known holiday favorites. But one of the highlights of that 1993 release was Jackson's cover of Burl lves's very familiar 'Holly Jolly Christmas,' which he subsequently made his own. Jackson's warm, soothing voice also works wonders here, with the arrangements doing their part to transform this into yet another yuletide classic. ln fact, 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' is one of the most touching ... |

The Greatest Hits Collection»rank: 991by: Alan Jackson
: essential recording:As a superstar who's revered by both the young country audience and traditionalists, Alan Jackson is at his finest when he's steers clear of trifles like 'Chattahoochie' and takes those younger fans to school. Here he does just that by paying respects to Hank ('Midnight in Montgomery'), swearing allegiance to George Jones ('Don't Rock the Jukebox'), and calling out all those newcomers who've decided it's time to get twangy now that country's hot ('Gone Country'). All of it pales next to ... |

Greatest Hits 2 [Regular Edition]»rank: 1410by: Alan Jackson
: :You don't have to get very far into Alan Jackson's splendid second anthology of hits before you're struck by how well the rangy Georgian has built his catalogue and how beautifully Keith Stegall continually produces his songs, filling the instrumental breaks with unexpectedly creative solos. While Jackson's choice of cover songs is usually inspired ('Pop-A-Top,' 'Little Bitty'), he's a deft writer, alternating his tongue-in-cheek, Sheriff Andy Taylor persona with his 'just a singer of simple songs' earnestness, lacing it all with an unfettered ... |

Like Red on a Rose»rank: 13022by: Alan Jackson
: :The idea of twang king Alan Jackson pairing up with Alison Krauss for an album of love songs might seem heretical to some, especially if they heard only the first cut, the adult-contemporary ballad 'Anywhere on Earth You Are.' But producer Krauss, whom Jackson approached to make a traditional bluegrass record, always knew there was a sensuous heart beating beneath his aw-shucks demeanor, one that would fit perfectly with the intimate repertoire, genre-bending musical framework, and virtuoso players she'd always chosen for herself. ... |
