This review is from: Living Room Sessions: Christmas (Audio CD)

I'm not usually a fan of instrumental albums, but I have enjoyed both of the releases in Chris Rice's Living Room Sessions series.

This CD features Chris playing his own arrangements of 12 classic Christmas carols. His piano solos are truly a pleasure to listen to. Also included is an arrangement of his soon to be classic "Welcome to Our World." If you aren't familiar with this song, check out his first release ("Deep Enough to Dream"), Michael W. Smith's "Christmastime," or Amy Grant's "A Christmas to Remember" for the words. It's an incredible reminder of Jesus' sacrifice to come and die for us and belongs in this collection of Spiritual Christmas music.

This CD is the perfect background music for an office or Christmas party or to play anytime during the season. I will be mixing it into my Christmas music for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply Christmas, December 17, 2001

This review is from: Living Room Sessions: Christmas (Audio CD)

Chris Rice, an excellent songwriter and singer, puts his talent to work in an instrumental album featuring Christmastime favorites. The arrangements he has chosen are simple and straightforward. Rice never overpowers the listener with flash or by "showing off."

It is titled "Living Room Sessions" and unfortunately it sounds that way. The mix seems to hold the high end more dominately, and that could be because of the simple piano arrangement. In a quiet setting it is noticeable.

This CD would make a great addition to your Christmas music collection. Good for background music and for easy listening.
