Happy HolidaysVickie Winans


Ok...this ain't your granny's Christmas-time CD at all! Starting with the jumpin' Latin flavored Gloria Estefan sounding "Holiday Jam" Winans starts the Christmas Party with a bang and doesn't stop for the entire CD. Oh she has the standards on here "Joy to the World", "Jingle Bells", and "Joyful Joyful" and others but they are all done in a way that is unique, entertaining, moving and festive. Jingle Bells features Tim Boman II and the two work this song into a scat-fest, jazzy groove with ease. New Destiny Joy artist Denise Tichenor shines on "Oh Holy Night" a don't miss track for this project. Listening to her performance you understand why she won the contest to become one of the first artists on Vickie Winans label. Vickie's heartfelt tribute to her mother in the final track "My Peace" touches the heart and is a fitting tribute for any loved one. Check out Vickie Winans for yourself at www.vickiewinans.com
