5.0 out of 5 stars interesting mix, December 5, 2009

I had never heard this song before. It is refreshing to hear a completely new Christmas song. Two vocalists trade off on this piece (female and male), accompanied by guitar, drum, strings orchestration, and clarinet here and there (I believe). There's also an blues-style electric organ in the background.

The rhythm is good and pretty evenly paced throughout. Interesting mix of classical strings, acoustic guitar, blues electric organ and a jazzy clarinet. Each providing a light touch of different genres. Who would have thought of putting this all together and that it would blend well. I like the voices, the male voice is baritone and has a slightly rough edge that is an interesting contrast to his female counterpart (and doesn't sound like all the other male voices I've heard). This could easily have been a non-Christmas piece.

If you like country, or blues and/or light rock, I think you would enjoy this a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars No, Its Not Bing Crosby, But That Could Be A Good Thing!, December 7, 2009

You know, I love Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, and Burl Ives Christmas music as much as the next guy. I have close to 100 Christmas albums, from Rosemary Clooney to Dwight Yoakam, and Tony Bennett. But I'm always looking for something new and fresh.

Keep an open mind and let in something a little different. I am grateful Amazon gives us a taste of other artists and thats what this free download is all about. Maybe you'll like it, and check out the artists other offerings and buy them. If you want the same old Christmas music, go out, spend a few bucks and buy some albums, they're pretty inexpensive.

I'd never heard of this artist before, but this song sounds great. Great vocals and great music. The song is obviously a reference to Joseph and Mary being turned away at the inn.

I look forward to tomorrow's song, hoping it will be something new...AND good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not classic, but gorgeous, December 7, 2009

This piece probably wouldn't be right for those just looking for happy, traditional Christmas songs, but it just might be perfect for people who want to expand their tastes a bit. The song tells the story of the innkeeper who wouldn't let Mary and Joseph have a room. It's absolutely beautiful, in my opinion. My favorite line comes when the exasperated innkeeper asks, "What can you give me? Can you save me?". It's a wonderful glimpse into the life of an overlooked figure. The song might not be a classic, but it's definitely going to be one of my staple Christmas songs.
