One last “Sounds of the Season” mix from RIBS for the 2008 holidays.

I was actually trying to finish this one in time for posting on Christmas Day but with all of the family activities (and “honey-do” *smile*) of the 24th and 25th I just ran out of time. And yeah I know, I know what some of ya’ll are saying… geesh, TGrundy, it’s after Christmas, enough with the Christmas music already.

To that I say… haven’t we all, at one time or another, said and/or felt we wish it could be Christmas everyday?

Also, don’t let the word “gospel” in the mix title fool you. While not exactly the Kirk Franklin “Stomp” type of gospel, the mix is far from the more traditional Mahalia Jackson gospel sound also (I say that with absolutely NO DISRESPECT towards Mahalia, one of the greatest gospel singers that ever lived) With 1 or 2 exceptions the majority of the selections in the mix fall in the Contemporary Gospel category as there are selections from Whitney Houston, Ray Charles, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Mary Mary and Sandra Crouch and many more.

So, for the Sunday after Christmas here in 2008 RIBS presents to you:
