Gospel music is very near and dear to my heart. Now that were in the Christmas season, it's time to celebrate Gospel style! I put together a list of my all time favorite Gospel Christmas CD's that I have loved through the years. Listen a snippet of all these albums to hear it for yourself.
10 Gospel Christmas CD's You Need To Buy Now!
1. Kirk Franklin: Christmas
- It's old, but no Christmas collection would be complete without it. All my people say!2. Real Meaning of Christmas
is a compilation of various artist such as Fred Hammond, Ben Tankard, Commissioned that I have played year after year. There are actually 3 volumes of this so get each one.3. CeCe Winans: His Gift
- Just as lovely as she is! I once did a praise dance to one of her songs.4. Bebe Winans: My Christmas Prayer
- He also put out a classic Christmas cd that will take you back to the days of Nat King Cole.5. Follow the Star
by T.D. Jakes is another great Christmas project featuring various artists. And, you will get a chance to hear T.D. Jakes on a few projects.6. Gary Mayes and New Era: Go Tell: Nex Perience 2
is one of those albums that you have probably never heard of but need to! Hailing from Texas, this album will remind you a little bit of Kirk Franklin with a more urban sound.7. Mandisa: It's Christmas
- One of my newer favorite contemporary projects. Remember her from Amercian Idol? My son just loves this one!8. I can't forget about Mary Mary Christmas
. I always love singing along with them as if I can sing. I wish!9. Next, Fred Hammond Christmas... Just Remember
- would probably be my favorite, hands down. The harmonies and melodies are just what you need to put you into a peaceful, grateful mood.10. Lastly, I wouldn't dare leave out my Christian Rap fans. There are a couple of good ones out there, but
Gift Rap
from Cross Music is a classic. You'll be noddin' your head to these festive beats!
Do you listen to Gospel Christmas music? What's your favorite song?
Just last night I was saying that I need to find some good Christmas music for the kids with classics and songs that emphasize what the season is really about so this is really on time for me. I'm familiar with most of these artists with the exception of Mandisa but I'll check her out on itunes.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love Mandisa, she's got a great, soulful voice. Hope this list will help in making your Christmas merry!

DeleteLove your blog! I'm so far behind and need to build up my Christmas music playlist for real! I'm going to be looking into these as I only own partial albums LOL Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! What I have even done is buy certain songs on mp3's and made a few Christmas mixes. Works just as well.
DeleteKirk Franklin's CHRISTmas album is a must! It truly is timeless. I have never listened to Mandesa (imagine I'm not an idol fan) but I would love to add a new artist to my list. I may even give rap music some consideration. Thanks for sharing your picks with us. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you too. You're right, Kirk Franklin is a must. I need to pull that CD out now!
