NASHVILLE, Tenn.–August 25th, 2017— Country music superstar Alan Jackson is back at the top of the charts this week, celebrating the No. 1 spot on this week’s Billboard Music Video chart, according to Nielsen Soundscan, with the rerelease of his LIVE DVD recording entitled Precious Memories, Live at the Ryman.
Precious Memories, rereleased by Gaither Music Group and produced by Martin Fischer and directed by James Burton Yockey, also garnered the No. 1 position on this week’s Christian Video chart. In addition, Jackson’s 2-CD Precious Memories set (Universal) climbed up this week’s Country chart to the No. 8 position and landed the No. 2 position on the week’s Contemporary Christian Music chart.
“It is a joy to partner with Alan Jackson on this DVD,” stated Gaither Music Group founder and gospel music legend Bill Gaither.
“As a songwriter, I really appreciate the beauty of a well-written
song; and Alan has been showing the world for a long time how to write
great songs. On this recording, he went back to songs that both of us
treasure—hymns of the church—with lyrics that keep on inspiring us with
their timeless messages.”
Taped at the historic Ryman, known as “The Mother Church of Country Music” in Nashville, TN, the nostalgic, 14-song collection captures Jackson’s stage performances of songs from his first gospel recording, Precious Memories,
originally released in 2006. The video, which features Jackson’s
heartwarming tones singing signature renditions of traditional hymns and
gospel favorites, also includes behind-the-scenes interviews with him,
his mother and his wife as he reflects on his musical roots.
