The Blind Boys of Alabama have spread the spirit of energy of pure soul gospel music for over 60 years, ever since the first version of the group formed at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in 1939. Christmas gets a gospel makeover as the Blind Boys of Alabama perform their Grammy-winning festive album Go Tell It on the Mountain. Formed in 1939 at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind, the Blind Boys of Alabama are one of the most celebrated and enduring gospel groups of all time. Go Tell It on the Mountain, their classic 2003 CD, is arguably the hippest Christmas album ever made, putting a groove-laden spin on seasonal classics, traditional hymns and glorious mistletoe pop. They've toured with Tom Petty, Peter Gabriel and Taj Mahal. They've jammed with Prince. Their Tom Waits cover Way Down in the Hole fronts HBO's cult series The Wire. And after six remarkable decades of music-making, the four-time Grammy- winners are back on the road again. So, for a joyous gospel-style Christmas, steeped in the bluesy roots of America's deep South, don't miss the inspirational Blind Boys of Alabama.
