Mahalia Jackson - Navidades Blancas

Review by Amy Letts

Mahalia Jackson's Navidades Blancas is a classic Christmas album that captures the essence of the holiday season with her soulful voice and timeless arrangements. The album features a mix of traditional Christmas carols and original compositions, all delivered with Jackson's signature gospel style.

The album opens with the title track, "Navidades Blancas," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and infectious chorus. Jackson's rendition of "Silent Night" is hauntingly beautiful, while "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Joy to the World" are given a rousing gospel treatment.

One of the highlights of the album is "Go Tell It on the Mountain," which showcases Jackson's powerful vocals and the dynamic interplay between her and the choir. Another standout is "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," which features a stunning solo by Jackson and a soaring arrangement.
