The best part about this cd is the album art. Not the greatest compliment for a music cd... Now, I really do like these guys. They have talent and I enjoy their music. However, I was a bit disappointed in this album. On just about every song I had the same thought, "they are trying too hard." Yeah, you need to make familiar songs your own, but it's possible to overdo it. So like I said: Just Okay.

I was skeptical to buy this CD last year but took a chance since the one I got was autographed by the artists and only cost $10. It was the best investment I made all winter! It's not a lengthy CD, a quick listen, and tracks 9 & 10 are actually tied together, very cleverly, and suitable for church worship. I loved the CD, the harmonies, the 'feeling' (it was worshipful, fun, and had that Christmas feeling to it), everything. Shane & Shane are great!

I got this album a few weeks before Christmas, and it was definitely worth the $10. When I say it's not the best Shane & Shane album, I mean that I'm not listening to it on a regular basis as I am with the others [most notably Clean and Evening with Shane & Shane]. However, their versions of Christmas tunes are fresh and new. O Holy Night and O Come O Come Emmanuel are the best renditions I've heard and these I do listen to regularly.

However, it's not to say that all the songs are great. Their style gets muddled with Christmas-folk, with makes it seem that they're trying something that they're not used to.

Overall, great CD.

This is a great all acoustic CD. Shane and Shane did a great job with tight harmonies that make you want to listen all year long! There are even a couple songs that are not traditional Christmas so it adds some variety. But even the traditional songs have a great twist that doesn't seem like you are always listening to the same ol' stuff. Highly recommend!

I love Shane & Shane, each CD I get from them I listen to over and over again. This has become my favorite Christmas CD... O Holy Night is phenomenal! Buy this for yourself and buy a copy for a friend.

If you want Christmas music arranged and performed simply yet uplifting, joyful and powerful, this is the right one to buy. Who would think that the song "Away in a Manger" would make you want to dance? Shane & Shane arranged the traditional Christmas songs brilliantly. Their rendition of "O Come O Come Emmanuel" is moving, and "Its Beginning to look alot like Christmas" makes you feel like a kid again. The title of their CD, Glory in the Highest was written by the two of them and brought tears to my eyes as I followed along with the printed words. The two songs written by Shane Barnard reflect the spirituality of what Shane & Shane are all about. This is a feel good CD, and definitely worth buying.
