It’s Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas ... Gospel Vocalist Anthony Evans on ‘The Greatest Gift’

In what has become a time honored tradition, my wife and I spend the first Saturday morning in December wrestling with a Christmas tree. And for the twentieth year in a row we hope to accomplish our goal – to move our artificial bundle of joy from our attic’s crawl space to the centerpiece of our living room. Serving as the soundtrack for our sloppily choreographed annual rite of passage this  year will be a new Christmas album just out from Anthony Evans. Titled “The Greatest Gift”, this nine-track recording features new arrangements of holiday classics and original songs Evans wrote and produced for major network features. Evans reminisces, “Some of my most favorite memories include the holidays and the music associated with them. I hope that this album brings joy to whoever is listening as well as reminds them that through the birth of our Savior, we truly have been given The Greatest Gift." Evans joins us to talk about his favorite memories as well as why he wanted to make an album that blended classic carols with new original Christmas music. Listen as he breaks down several of the new songs and explains their meaning.
