LATEST EDITION OF CHRISTMAS DISCS TO GET YOU INTO THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

The Greatest Gift: Songs of the Season

Singer Alexis Cole captures the meaning of Christmas both musically and
thematically on this disc. Thematically, because just as Christmas
represents God sending His Son for our salvation, this disc uses its
money to help support World Bicycle Relief, an organization which gives
sustainable access to healthcare and education to need countries. Hard
to beat!

So is the music! The band (which includes Don Braden, Christian Howes
and Jon Cow
herd) swings through an assertive “Joy To The World” while
giving a clever Central Asian take of “Rise Up Shepherd, and Follow.”
Cole, along with Greg Frens sound wonderful on “Hark The Herald Angels
Sing” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” while caressing the lyrics to
“Away In A Manger.” A gift to mankind, indeed.
