What's hot! - Sounding off: for the latest and hottest in black music! - Sound Recording Review

Ebony, Dec, 2003

With GO TELL ON THE MOUNTAIN (Real World), THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA fulfill a longtime dream by releasing its first Christmas album in the group's 60-year career. It is well worth the wait. Solomon Burke is featured on "I Pray on Christmas," as is the angelic-voiced Aaron Neville on "Joy to the World." Other guest artists include Mavis Staples on "Born in Bethlehem," George Clinton and Robert Randolph on "Away in a Manger," and jazz maestro Les McCann on "White Christmas."
