Alan Jackson was a dozen studio albums into his successful country music career when he decided to do something he d never done before: release a gospel album.
Precious Memories what turned out to be the first of two projects by the same name arrived 15 years ago, on Feb. 28, 2006.
Jackson had previously released two Christmas albums in addition to his string of Top 5 country records, but
Precious Memories was a particularly personal project; in fact, it was never intended to be heard widely. The country star originally recorded the tracks as a Christmas gift for his mother, Ruth, but an executive at his record label, Arista Nashville, heard the recordings and persuaded Jackson into releasing them to the public.

But having a president with whom I passionately disagree even a president whose plans and policies I find alarming didn’t keep me from functioning as an adult either.
