5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Classic, December 5, 2001

This review is from: Christmas with Sandi Patti: The Gift Goes On (Audio CD)

This mid-80's release from one of the best female vocalists of our time is a charmer. It's been a family favorite since we got it several years after it came out.

The collection is actually over half original songs, but still manages to feel Christmassy right from the start. It opens with the fun "Worship the King" and after a medley of traditional carols, goes to the equally fun title song. The version of "O Holy Night" on this CD is one of my favorites anywhere, and ranks above her rendition on her second Christmas CD. The other highlight is "Bethlehem Morning," which focuses on the impact of Jesus' birth on us today and always. I have heard other people sing the song, but this is my favorite version.

If you're a fan of Sandi Patty's other 80's albums, you'll love this one because it's very similar musically to them. There are several songs that allow her to show off her amazing vocal range without overpowering the song or album as a whole.

This is one album I look forward to listening to every year at Christmas time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Incomparable Sandi Patty, December 12, 2003

Sandi Patty's voice is pure, lyrical--simply gorgeous--and this remains my favorite Christmas album. She is a stellar musician, and no one has surpassed her yet for sheer vocal quality and ability. The songs are beautiful. "Bethlehem Morning" is reminiscent of Barbra Streisand in style, but its message reaches beyond anything Streisand ever dreamt of.

This 1983 collection of Christmas songs includes new and old favorites. The title track, sung with a children's choir, is a charmer. "Bethlehem Morning" and "Merry Christmas, With Love" are also new gems for the season. This is a great album to have when trimming the Christmas tree! Yuletide Joy
