Over its career, this former fraternity of now solo artists Charles Billingsley and Russ Lee has been about as dependable as‚ well, death and taxes (though, the group's music is admittedly a lot more enjoyable). None of that has changed with the release of Sheltering Tree. Of course, reliability isn't the most thrilling trait in the world. But when a firm foundation is your goal, it's hard to beat. In this area, Sheltering Tree does not disappoint. Think of the album as the musical and lyrical equivalent of chicken noodle soup: pleasantly familiar, warm and nourishing, but unlikely to make you chew too hard. Guest vocals by Fred Hammond, Charlie Peacock, Carolyn Arends, Rebecca St. James, Natalie Grant and Third Day's Mac Powell add dimension to the title track, while NewSong's own Leonard Ahlstrom, acting as producer, leads the group into slightly divergent territory in the flamenco-flavored "Defining Moment." But for the most part, even with the addition of two new members, the verdict remains: Different day. Same old comfort. -- Shari MacDonald (c) 2000 CCM Communications, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Shoes, December 12, 2000

When I first heard Christmas Shoes I was in a rush and didn't listen to it much. But, it caught my attention and I listened carefully to the chorus. It made me so emotional and I fell in love with it instantly. I could help but by the CD so I could listen to the song over and over. I love it.

These songs will touch your life in a way nothing else can. What an inspirational group of songs. My friend recommended this CD to me because she said it was me. I have cancer and I like to listen to songs like this to give me my daily lift. It is also a great message for my kids. Thanks for producing it,

5.0 out of 5 stars for the one who truly miss there mother!!!!, December 14, 2000

It has been a pleasure to hear that song day by day especially since i lost my mother about 6 years ago. It reminds me how special it had been to wake up christmas day and see her open a gift eventhough i knew was going to loss her someday. This song has yours ears open on how to show a child the true meaning of christmas. I thank New Song for "christmas shoe" the children i had asked to hear it has a complete new direction on the meaning of christmas.
