Red Mountain Music Giveaway!!

The first time I ever heard Ashley Spurling (AJ’s Mom, for my blog followers) sing, it sent chills down my spine (and that doesn’t happen often). Seven years later and even though she is one of my best friends and I hear her sing all the time, her voice still gives me chills. She has a stunning voice – on of those that you have to hear to believe.

Ashley sings with Red Mountain Music, a group of amazingly creative Birmingham musicians who primarily arrange new music for very rarely used hymns.

For the first time this year, they have created a Christmas CD, called Silent Night. It uses the traditional arrangements of the songs, and is simple, eloquent, and beautiful.

And I have four copies to give away to you!

Here are sample clips from the songs on the album (did I mention that Ashley is singing every track?!?!):

  1. Silent Night
  2. Joy To The World
  3. What Child Is This?
  4. O Come, All Ye Faithful
  5. Little Drummer Boy
  6. Away In A Manger
  7. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent
  8. O Come, O Come Emmanuel
  9. Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

I personally love this selection of music – especially my favorite traditional Christmas songs, “What Child is This” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”. Oh yeah – an I love “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus”. OK – I LOVE them all!!!

To be entered into my giveaway, all you have to do is comment on this post! Say whatever you like – tell me what your favorite Christmas song is, or how unbelievably awesome Ashley’s voice is, or just a plain ole; “Hey! Enter me!!”. Please only enter once.

  7. My speakers are kaput :( and I can’t listen to her songs. Sigh.

    My favorite holiday song is White Christmas. I simply adore Christmas music and wait each year until Thanksgiving Day when my favorite radio station begins playing Christmas music all day every day until Dec 25th :)

    Thanks for offering this wonderful giveaway! Good luck to everyone!

  15. Rachel, I’m not a blogger and I don’t spend much time reading blogs, but I’ve enjoyed reading yours since you sent me the link yesterday. Your Ali is precious, and I love reading your comments about her. I also enjoyed the Silent Night clip by your friend, and she does have a nice voice! Thanks for sharing.

  16. This would be perfect for me at work, because we need some new Christmas music to keep us going through December. We start listening early because we work retail. I love Christmas music!
