Nashville, TN. (Arista Nashville) -
Alan Jackson's LIKE RED ON
A ROSE, produced by
Alison Krauss, was an unexpected gem and one of the year's most acclaimed
albums. It debuted at No 1 and No 3 on the Billboard Country and Billboard Top 200
album charts, respectively. The second single from the album, 'A Woman's Love,' will impact
radio on January 8.
'My
favorite tracks were his favorite tracks,' said Krauss, 'and he was
willing to try things too. It was a dream to get to work with that
voice. It was just amazing, an incredible opportunity.'
Jackson remarked, 'I think this album has a lot to offer. It's a record
that you can put on with your friend or your loved one and pour a glass
of wine and just have an easy listening.'
2006
has been a year of incredible successes for Jackson . February brought
the release of PRECIOUS MEMORIES, an album of timeless hymns which
originally was conceived and recorded as a gift for his mother.
However, its appeal reached far greater lengths. PRECIOUS MEMORIES,
which has already been certified Platinum, became the first gospel
recording in history to debut at No 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums
chart and garnered a CMA nomination for Album of the Year.
Additionally, Jackson also became the first country artist
to debut an album of all-gospel material at No 1 on the Top Christian
Albums and Top Christian & Gospel Albums charts, and the first
artist to ever top all three charts at once. The album continues to be
a top seller, consistently scanning tens of thousands of copies every
week.
The
collection also inspired the enormously popular GAC-televised Precious
Memories concert event, an hour-long special taped live at the Ryman
Auditorium, while the release of LIKE RED ON A ROSE found Jackson making high-profile appearances on Today, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and ABC's top-rated Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
The new single from LIKE RED ON A
ROSE will be 'A Woman's Love,' and will impact radio on January 8th,
2007. It will be the first single released by Arista Nashville in the
New Year.
