Alabaster Box (album)
Encyclopedia
Alabaster Box is the 1999 album by award winning gospel artist CeCe Winans
. This was the first album on Winans' own label, Wellspring Gospel (later renamed Puresprings Gospel). Winans described the album as a "experimental" album for the label before any new artists were signed. Despite the mistakes made with the album, it did very well on the charts and included a duet with Take 6
. In comparison to Winans' past albums, this one takes more of a worship flair with a few R&B tracks (such as "Without Love"). Gospel artist Fred Hammond
also took a production turn on the album.
