A Very McCrary Christmas (Digital Album)

Digital album delivered via email in your choice of MP3, WAV or FLAC. A Very McCrary Christmas, the first holiday album by celebrated gospel quartet the McCrary Sisters, co-produced with three-time GRAMMY winner Scott Billington, is a stunning collection of 13 sacred songs – 12 traditional hymns and one new composition – featuring arrangements that reflect the quartet’s soulful Southern roots. The album features guest appearances by Pastor Shirley Caesar, Steve Crawford, Jerry Douglas, Alison Krauss, Buddy Miller, and Keb’ Mo’. The McCrary Sisters can be heard individually throughout the songs, yet it’s the power of all four voices together that makes the album shine. A Very McCrary Christmas highlights the sisters’ favorite holiday songs, delivered with reverence and exuberance. The group’s spirited, soulful renditions of classic Christmas songs like “Go Tell It On the Mountain,” “Oh Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Away In a Manger,” “O Holy Night,” “What Child Is This?,” and “Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child” are infused with elements of Southern gospel, R&B, pop, and jazz, and convey the infectious joy the sisters derive from their deep faith. “We wanted it different, right off the bat,” says Freda McCrary. “We said we want to do traditional songs, but with a different feel. You would have never thought that was the way ‘Away in a Manger’ was going to go — or any of these songs. But all of them have a different flavor on it — I guess we can call it the McCrary flavor. And everybody has input. Everybody. Not just one person.” Track List: 1. Go Tell It on the Mountain (5:01) 2. O Come, O Come Emmanuel (4:47) 3. O, Come, All Ye Faithful (4:03) 4.
