Tag: Music Reviews

It’s no secret that I really enjoy Christmas music.  For whatever the reason, it just lightens my spirits and makes me smile.  Every year I add at least one new album to my Christmas music collection.  Now, that we have mp3 players, pretty much all of our music goes onto those and/or onto our smartphones.  D has a rule that I’m not allowed to start listening to Christmas music until Thanksgiving.  Well, thanks to the fact that I am reviewing a new Christmas album, I was given an exception this year. **grin**

I’ve been enjoying listening to a nice selection of Christmas songs from FFH:

• Baby It’s Cold Outside
• Jingle Bell Rock
• One Silent Night
• I’ll Be Home for Christmas
• The Birthday of the King
• O Come O Come Emmanuel
• Winter Wonderland
• Glorious Impossible
• O Little Town of Bethlehem
• Heaven and Nature Sing

One Silent Night contains many old Christmas favorites as well as a few new original songs.  FFH has done a great job with their renditions of the classic songs, and the original songs are sure to become new favorites around here.  I personally enjoy the upbeat, contemporary Christian sound of FFH.  Obviously, by glancing over the songs, you can see that FFH chose to include some “secular” songs as well as Christian songs on this album.  I think the song choice is fun, so I don’t have an issue with it.

Once again, I’m happy to be able to offer up a copy of the album to one of my readers.  This will be a download and not a physical copy of the album.  The giveaway is open to ALL of my readers.

Giveaway – Open to all readers – Ends 11/22

Get In, I’m Driving by Ginny Owens About the Artist: Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind.
