I never was an Alan Jackson fan until his “Precious Memories” Gospel album from 2005. It was my Grandma’s favorite CD and was played at her funeral visitation. Those songs are now dear to me. Thanks Alan!

Thanks but no thanks. I donot care for country music . I would rather listen to cats scream or watch paint dry.
