The Blackwoods Versus The Statesmen

I'm resharing this, my favorite Gospel Christmas music LP, with you today because I think it ties in nicely with something Lee posted over at his great blog, Music You (Possibly) Won't Hear Anyplace Else. My share features both The Blackwood Brothers and The Statesmen (alone and together) and Lee has a full LP by The Blackwood Brothers. How can you go wrong with that? All we need to fill this out is an LP of Christmas music by The Statesmen. Does such a thing exist? Nothing is coming to mind, but anything is possible. Anyhow, I first shared this out back in 2007, but now's your chance to download James Blackwood And The Blackwood Brothers Combine With Hovie Lister And The Statesmen To Wish You A Musical Merry Christmas (RCA Victor LPM-2606, Mono, 1962).
