JACKSON TO GO GOSPEL ON LATEST ALBUM

Country crooner ALAN JACKSON is turning an album of gospel tunes he originally recorded as a Christmas present to his mother into his latest release.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES is a collection of 15 vintage hymns recorded in an intimate, acoustic setting, that the star grew up singing in church in his native Georgia.

He recalls, "My mother kept asking me, 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more."

The notoriously private singer enlisted the help of his wife DENISE and daughters MATTIE and ALI, who join him on TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS.

Jackson originally made 100 copies for friends and family for Christmas and had no plans to release it until it fell into the hands of RCA Label Group Chairman JOE GALANTE.

Galante says, "It kind of hits you right between the eyes. When you listen to the songs, there's so much inspiration in them."
