The Gatlin Brothers have produced one of the finest Christmas CDs on the market today. The music is a fine compliment to the tight harmony of the Gatlin's voices. The song selection is an outstanding mix of classic songs and newer pieces. If you're looking for a Christmas CD that really brings out the best meanings of the Christmas season, you can't do much better then this one!

Most of these songs are classics that have been recorded hundreds of times before and since, but if you're going to buy an album full of such songs (and there are plenty to choose from), you may as well choose this one.

Larry, Steve and Rudy sound inspired as they sing Joy to the world, Winter wonderland, White Christmas, The Christmas song, Do you hear what I hear, O holy night, Silver bells, What child is this, Little drummer boy and Silent night. There are three songs - Sweet baby Jesus, Bring a torch, Janette Isabella and Christmas all year round - that haven't been recorded all that often. For that reason, they are my favorites here, but only because I've heard the others sung so many times by so many great singers. Nevertheless, the Gatlin brothers perform these songs as well as anybody - and despite their success in country music, their voices do not twang, so everybody can enjoy their music.

If you are looking for an album packed with classic Christmas songs, beautifully sung, this is for you, especially at the price.

While I usually lean toward more classical Christmas compilations, I must admit that this is my favorite Christmas CD. The harmonies are simply beautiful. There is something here for everyone. Do not be put off by a "country" label-there is defenitely nothing twangy here. A wonderful CD.

This is a great sing-a-long Christmas tunes grouping but the disc we ordered was damaged and did not work successfully on most songs.
