Word Has It: The Clark Sisters & Family Record Christmas Project

Word has it that the Clark Sisters recorded their already highly-anticipated holiday album, A Clark Family Christmas, yesterday in Detroit.  Aside from the Sisters, guest appearances came from Kierra Sheard, J Moss, Bill Moss Jr., and J Drew Sheard II… wowwwww!

I’m uber-excited for this project.  Industry vet Neily Dickerson tweeted a coupla details from the live recording for her followers.  Apparently, producer extraordinaire Asaph Ward was on hand to lend his expertise.  Some of the songs included “O Come Emmanuel,” “Silent Night,” “Beautiful Christmas” feat. Kierra Sheard (and produced by J Drew II), “This Christmas” feat. J Moss and Kierra Sheard, and “Little Drummer Boy.”

A Clark Family Christmas will be the first project released on the newly formed Karew Records, and is expected to drop on OCTOBER 13.  Shout-out to Neily for keepin’ folks informed (and for the great family photo below).  Other industry execs in attendance included Karew Records General Mgr. Darrell Thompson, Assistant General Mgr. Cynthia Ellis, EMI Gospel’s Marketing Team (Larry Blackwell & Karen Jackson), and Walter Kearney & Paul “PDA” Allen of PAJAM.

Am I buggin’ or is anyone else extremely eager to hear this?! *marking my calendar and savin’ my pennies NOW*
