Bought the tree today (you know – that one), the deccys were going up in our local watering hole near the farm shop where the transaction took place, and the Christmas tunes were being played (you know the ones). It’s far enough into December now to be able to embrace the season and all its trappings.
So I’m feeling good and today’s song makes me feel even better.
I always remember The McCrarys for their 1982 song Love On A Summer Night, which I think Robbie Vincent was partial to playing on his radio show. That was a feel good record, and so is this one. Listening to it you can’t help but feel uplifted. The lyrics can be taken equally as a gospel song or a secular one - take your pick. The group were rooted in gospel and it’s no real surprise to discover they founded The McCrary Foundation in 2014, a non-profit organisation aimed at helping those in need through the healing powers of music.
