"This c.d is just awesome! The Clark Sisters are truly amazing and to be able to listen to them during the holiday season is going to be wonderful.



Celebration-What a great way to open the c.d and for that matter the Christmas and holiday season. It's a great upbeat song which showcases all of the sisters on lead. Will become a new holiday classic.



Silver Bells-Very pretty and simple, even has Kierra Sheard singing a few lines. Nice arrangment on a traditional song.



O come Emmanuel-In my opinion the best song on the c.d, gives me chills. It's beautifully arranged, and the harmony is nearly perfect.The humming close to the end of the song is gorgeous, and show the sisters at their best playing off of each other, without overpowering each other or getting of key. Very pretty.



Silent Night-Jacky Clark Chisolm leads this holiday staple, and does a great job.



We are the Reason-Features Bill Moss Jr. on lead. Very powerful song with beautiful background choir. His voice is smooth but strong, and he blends very well with the choir. Very nice.



Hark the Herald Angels Sing-Karen and Kierra! What more can I say. Very very pretty. At times you can't tell one from the other. What is great about this song is that it's somewhat subtle.I have to say I believe Karen Clark Sheard is at her best on songs like this when she just shows the prettiness and smoothness of her voice.They are both powerhouse singers, and definitely show ability on the song, but it's not over the top, just soft and beautiful very heartfelt.



This Christmas-The Donny Hathaway classic is covered nicely by J.Moss, who I consider to be the male version of Karen Clark Sheard.J definitely takes it to church at the end which was an unexpected surprise. He's urging everyone to remember the real reason for the season Jesus Christ!

Beautiful Christmas-Here Kierra Sheard does well on this new holiday song.It speaks of family coming together. Gets you in the holiday spirit.



Chipmunk Song-These ladies are just awesome! This is actually one of my favorite songs on the c.d. Even when they are having fun they're on point.To top it off they end it with a C.O.G.I.C yes! You've got to hear this!



Do you hear what I hear-Once again can't go wrong here nicely done



Drummer Boy-has a lenghthy interlude, but is still nice, and when the ladies use their gifts at the end of the song,priceless!



Overall excellent c.d. You can listen to every single song. Great Job once again Clark sisters

"These are not the first Christmas songs (or even the first holiday album) released by The Clark Sisters, but wow, how they sing these songs so well! Their 1990 album simply entitled "Christmas" is out of print indefinitely; so this CD is the way to go at least for now if you want holiday tunes from these wonderful ladies. This is truly high quality control music and anyone who likes holiday music is bound to love this album. The Clark Sisters sound terrific and they always harmonize to perfection--and beyond! I really like the very good sound quality and the artwork is very nicely done.



Several tracks really stand out in my mind. "Celebration" is a most upbeat, infectiously happy tune that starts the album with a whole lot of POW! "Silver Bells" gets a fine treatment even though the tempo is faster than I'm used to hearing--it still holds its own very well and I'm impressed. The music fits perfectly with their vocals and that's terrific. In addition, listen for a passionate "Silent Night" with a gospel accent that works so well--wonderful!



"Hark The Herald Angels Sing;" "This Christmas;" "Do You Hear What I Hear" are all splendid; and there's even a cute, fun rendition of "The Chipmunk Song" thrown in for a good effect. The album ends very well with The Clark Sisters performing "Drummer Boy."



Judging by the audience reaction, The Clark Sisters outdid even themselves on this album full of excellent holiday music. This is great for any fan of The Clark Sisters and even people just discovering them would do well to add this to their music collection."

A MUST HAVE!!! WONDERFUL CD.......

"The Clark/Sheard/Moss Family are my favorite vocalists. I love all of their voices individually and collectively. This CD is a true showcase of why these ladies set the precedent for many vocalists in the Gospel AND Secular industry! They are simply AMAZING. Their vocal ability is unprecedented and unsurpassed!!!! The harmonies on Oh Come Emmanuel are SICK!!!!!!! I've never heard anything like this from anyone else, the dimensions of Twinkie's voice are truly AMAZING and she sounds TRULY strong (a preview of the OLD TWINK in this cd). JMOSS has always been and will always be an outstanding vocalist with a very UNIQUE voice...he's Karen's voice double and his vibrato is controlled and smooth. Their arrangement of Drummer Boy is outstanding!!! The Chipmunk Song...I mean WHO else could just TEAR UP the Chipmunk Song???? I don't know of any others. This CD will truly make you want to sing along with the Clark Sisters and Family and really reminds us of the reason we celebrate the Christmas season. The Clark Sisters, Kierra Sheard and JMOSS have never made a song that I did not like. They are real instruments of praise and the anointing they have is truly GOD Sent. There will NEVER be any group that will be ahead of their time like the Clark Sisters. If you LOVE THEM BUY this, and even if your not familiar with them, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!"
