5.0 out of 5 stars A unique twist to all your favorite carols + one to add, October 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas (Audio CD)

She sets the traditional carols to different music styles. It really is very unique. I love "Silent Night". She hums the verses and sings the chorus. Somehow it makes you ponder the words & their meaning more. "A Cradle Prayer" is her own. Its so beautiful and worshipful. Here is the chorus: Jesus, I love You, my Lord, my Life. Where would I be without You? Here in the quiet, the still of the night, I am in awe of You

5.0 out of 5 stars A new twist to traditional Christmas music worth buying., October 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas (Audio CD)

Rebecca St.James has outdone herself again, this time with Christmas music.

This album consists of the Christmas music we hear every year, with a new twist. One creative example of this is taking silent night and humming most of it! Of the whole album, the song that touches my heart the most is "A Cradle Prayer". This, the only original on the CD, is an inspiration and gives a soft hearted view of God as it would have been to be in Bethlehem the night of his birth.

Rebecca St.James has a way with words and expresses her heart so genuinely. Definitely worth the price and a great item to add to your Christmas music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Christmas" Rocks!, January 17, 2003

This review is from: Christmas (Audio CD)

Rebecca St. James has created a reputation for orchestrating a symphony of guitars, electric or otherwise, drums, strings, synths, and producing an almost girl-punk sound, but for this album, added a small amount of seasonal cheer to old Christmas tunes. A new version of "O Come Emmanuel" with powerful bridges gives the old a new meaning. John Lennon's "War is Over (Happy Christmas)" couldn't be done any better, and I had never even heard "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" until I bought this CD. Surely one of Rebecca's best! If you love to rock, and you love Christmas and you love to buy good CDs, maybe you should think about maybe getting ahold of one of these before next Christmas.
