Kenny Rogers
Feb 21, 2011
The great Kenny Rogers will become the first artist to release a second album through the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store when "The Love of God" becomes available on March 7, 2011. The project is an inspirational collection of classic songs that Rogers remembers from his childhood along with new recordings of contemporary songs. Two of the classics feature other artists: The Whites and Winfield's Locket. Point of Grace is featured on one of the album's contemporary recordings, a song called "Circle of Friends. The album will be available exclusively at all Cracker Barrel locations.
"'The Love of God' is the culmination of an idea I had been thinking about for years but never had the opportunity to bring to life," said Rogers. "It's been a musical awakening to me. To all of the wonderful musicians, vocalists, and songwriters who lent their amazing talents to this record, I want to thank you for making it so special. It seems I have a personal relationship with every song on it. For example, 'In The Sweet By And By' was my mom's favorite song. When I was a kid, as I was leaving to go to school, I remember hearing her sing along with the radio. Music is by far the best 'memory creator' I know, and that memory is very special to me."
"We're delighted to work with Kenny Rogers for a second time," said Chris Ciavarra, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Cracker Barrel. "It is particularly gratifying to be a part of a project about which Kenny cares so deeply and that will touch so many of our guests."
