The Best Christmas Ever, the third full-length holiday release from GRAMMY®-nominated NewSong, is set to bow October 21 from HHM Records/Word Distribution. Featuring 10 favorites from the group’s best-selling projects The Christmas Shoes (2001) and The Christmas Hope (2006), The Best Christmas Ever also showcases five newly recorded songs. Produced by Jeremy Redmon (Big Daddy Weave) and Tedd T (for King & Country, Lauren Daigle), the new selections include the title-cut and lead single (co-witten by NewSong's Eddie Carswell and Matthew West), a duet with Love & The Outcome’s Jodi King; “This Christmas”; “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”; “My Heart’s with You”, featuring Bethany Cruz; and “The King Is Born”, spotlighting NewSong’s Matt Butler on cello.

The album is highlighted by a never-before released live rendition of “The Christmas Shoes,” in celebration of the 15th anniversary of NewSong’s GRAMMY®-nominated multi-format hit. Among the most popular modern holiday songs of all time, “The Christmas Shoes” inspired a New York Times best-selling novel of the same name, as well as a top-rated CBS television movie based on the book.

The Blind Boys Of Alabama GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

The Blind Boys Of Alabama’s Grammy®-winning Christmas album is now even more special!

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 featured 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.

(They won in 2001 for Spirit Of The Century, and Higher Ground in 2002.)

KEY SELLING POINTS • 2003 Grammy® Winner for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album.

• Contains 3 bonus tracks.

• Includes an incredible and diverse array of guest appearances.

• New essay from Davin Seay.

While the release was expanded in 2004 to include an extra track, this version of Go Tell It On The Mountain goes two better, with live tracks recorded at the Beacon Theatre in New York. Also included is an insightful new essay from Davin Seay—co-author of memoirs from Al Green, Dion, and Snoop Dogg.

Just as a new generation of listeners was introduced to The Blind Boys Of Alabama at the turn of the century, it’s time for their classic Christmas album to continue the tradition today.

ATOM BOMB The last of their four turn of the century, groundbreaking albums—expanded!

After a trio of acclaimed, Grammy® Award-winning releases beginning in 2001, The Blind Boys Of Alabama showed no signs of moving away from Gospel music when they dropped Atom Bomb in 2005. Working with the same production team as their previous albums, they continued to evolve and push the genre into unheard dimensions.

Atom Bomb is an eclectic mix of Gospel, Blues, Rock, and R&B— combining standards with tracks like Norman’s Greenbaum’s “Spirit In The Sky” and Blind Faith’s “Presence Of The Lord.” The musicianship was, as usual, impeccable, with guests including Charlie Musselwhite, The Gift Of Gab from Blackalicious, Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo, and the legendary Billy Preston.

While it is the tremendous sound of The Blind Boys’ voices that draw the listener in, the musicianship is key, as well. The new edition of Atom Bomb features seven previously unissued instrumental versions of key tracks from the album that allow listeners the opportunity to revel in the backing of the ultra-talented guest musicians.

With a new and revealing essay from writer Davin Seay (co-author of memoirs from Al Green, Dion and Snoop Dogg), Atom Bomb shows how the band was not only re-invented and reintroduced to the world, but how that incredible four album stretch came full circle.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Includes 7 previously unissued bonus tracks.

• Featuring musical guests Charlie Musselwhite, The Gift Of Gab, David Hidalgo, and Billy Preston.

• New essay from Davin Seay.
