Alan Jackson's acclaimed 'Monday Morning Church' becomes new single from his Chart-Topping 'What I Do' album

NASHVILLE, TN. (Arista Nashville) - Already garnering country airplay across the nation as the most added new song this week, "Monday Morning Church" marks the latest single from superstar Alan Jackson's chart-topping collection, What I Do. Following the success of the album's debut single, "Too Much of a Good Thing," the gorgeous balladry of "Monday Morning Church," penned by Brent Baxter and Erin Enderlin, is poised to become a Jackson classic and earning widespread critical praise.
"'Monday Morning Church' is one of the best songs of the year," cheered the San Antonio Express-News, as Billboard lauded the track as "one of the most potent ballads in country music since George Jones' 'He Stopped Loving Her Today.'"

From the Nashville Scene to The New York Times, "Monday Morning Church" has been singled out as one of the album's most compelling tracks, with the Times calling it "remarkable," while the Scene hailed the song as "a brooding masterpiece."

Music Row critic Robert K. Oermann describes "Monday Morning Church" as "Quietly devastating. Alan takes the role of a widower who questions his faith. The result, complete with a Patty Loveless harmony assist, will chill you and shake you."

Jackson is currently nominated for a number of major awards, including Favorite Male Artist - Country at the 32nd annual American Music Awards, while the Radio Music Awards have recognized Jackson's chart-topping ballad, "Remember When," with a nomination for Country Radio Song of the Year.
With seven nominations, Jackson, the reigning CMA Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year, leads all nominees for the 2004 CMA Awards.
