Alan Jackson will release his second gospel album, Precious Memories Volume II, on March 26. Produced by Keith Stegall, the project will be issued by EMI Records Nashville and Jackson's label, ACR (Alan's Country Records). "[My wife] Denise and I had made a list of 30 to 40 songs to do for that first album," Jackson says. "We had so many that we didn't get to, I thought we'd go in and do a few more just the same way -- heartfelt and simple." Jackson released his original Precious Memories album in 2006.
