It’s hard to believe that in their multi-decade history, the Blind Boys Of Alabama hadn’t issued a Christmas album until 2003 - but, when it arrived, it was greater than anyone would have imagined. Go Tell It On The Mountain features the Blind Boys’ signature vocals, matched with a bevy of special guests including Solomon Burke, Tom Waits, Chrissie Hynde, Mavis Staples, George Clinton, Les McCann, and many more. The mix of hymns and traditional holiday favorites was greeted with adoration, and garnered the group its third Grammy Award in as many years, and as many releases.
