Marc Martel - "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
By working with artists like Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Jason Gray, and others during the Christmas music season, Marc Martel has undoubtedly established a reputation for himself. He challenges Mr. Grinch on his most recent record!
Marc Martel explains in a Facebook post why he decided to adapt such a timeless work:
My all-time favorite animated Christmas tale is undoubtedly How The Grinch Stole Christmas. You Charlie Brown fans can argue with me about it all you want, but I'm sticking with what I believe. (Although, let's face it, who doesn't adore the Charlie Brown Christmas specials?) I enjoy watching how imaginatively some folks incorporate The Grinch into their holiday displays. Someone in my neighborhood has a wooden cutout of The Grinch on his front lawn, and the retro multicolored string lights adorning his gutters hang down into The Grinch's hands from the roof, giving the impression that the cunning little rotter is actively trying to ruin Christmas for everyone once more. I grinned when walking the other day because of that.
In a rare occurrence, I deviated slightly from my normal tenet of "if it ain't broke, don't repair it" with the theme song for Dr. Seuss' most endearing villain, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." For the sake of contrast, I've always felt that the song begged for a high rock voice rendition. And the choice was pretty well made for me since Thurl Ravenscroft's renowned original song's deep bass cannot be faithfully reproduced by my vocal chords. I felt particularly liberated to try new things on this recording with the talented musicians Greg Collins put together. If you're a die-hard Queen fan, you could be wondering if he was modeling his act after Freddie Mercury's on "Death On Two Legs." You wouldn't be mistaken, I suppose.

Chris Tomlin Joins the Kelly Clarkson Show
Chris Tomlin recently celebrated his daughter's birthday and made an appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show, both of which were momentous occasions!
First, he got to celebrate Madison, his daughter, turning 8 years old!
I like to refer to her as Madi the Brave, Chris remarked. She charges up... She goes for it, whether it's riding horses, riding roller coasters, tubing on a lake, or pointing her skis directly down the mountain. Time is passing far too quickly. My wish would be to freeze her.
The opportunity for Chris Tomlin to appear on the Kelly Clarkson show was the second!
Chris stated, "I never believed I would get the opportunity to be on a show like this growing up in a little town in Texas. I am incredibly appreciative of the opportunity to spread the message of my song "Holy Forever" to a larger audience.
