Alan Jackson

EMI RECORDS NASHVILLE artist Alan Jackson has released a limited number of his book Seasons of Sweetbriar - A Photographic Collection of Home by Alan Jackson. The full purchase price of each book will be donated to the Colon Cancer Alliance's Blue Note Fund, benefitting colon cancer patients in need.

Here is an excerpt from the book's foreward, written by Jackson: "Sweetbriar - created by God, bound by the Harpeth River, and guarded by hand laid rock walls from years ago - this 140 acres of fertile valley shadowed by the Tennessee hills has privileged my family and me with a landscape for living."

The Sweetbriar estate is where Alan, his wife Denise and their three daughters, Mattie, Ali and Dani lived for over 13 years. The Franklin, TN home was sold in 2010 after Denise was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. "That rocked my world, as I'm sure it does every person who gets a cancer diagnosis," said Denise. "That really brought to my attention the CCA and awareness and what the organization does. It became an obvious way for us to be able to do something meaningful with these books and be able to raise money for the Blue Note Fund."

100% of the proceeds are being donated to this cause and can be purchased for $25 or $50 for a book autographed by Alan.

Books can be purchased at www.alanjackson.com.
