When it comes to a talent the caliber of Randy Travis, it makes no difference when you hear new music from him. Be it September or December. Country, gospel or seasonal. The music is always excellent. And always a gift from an exceptional talent.
I have long awaited for Randy to give us a second Christmas album. Now he has.
As much as I loved his "Ole Time Christmas", this one "Songs Of The Season" is a true joy to listen to. The production is masterful. The interlude on "Angels We Have Heard On High" is the most beautiful arrangement I have ever heard.
Who says Randy can't sing with an orchastra backup? Or sing anything other than traditional country?. Listen to him sing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christams". Or the beautiful "Oh Holy Night"
Every religious selection (of vocals) on this beautiful offering has been arranged by Randy. He does some amazing vocal gymnastics on several of these songs. His styling is what helps set him apart from most artists of today.
Once again Randy has given to his fans an album they will treasure and enjoy hearing over and over, from season to season.
Two songs are slated to be released as singles. One to Christian radio. The other to mainstream radio.
To Christian radio goes, "Labor Of Love". It is a beautifully written song, telling the story of the night of Jesus's birth.It reveals the anguish of both Mary and Joseph (as well as the joy and the promise)that his birth brings to the world. Randy gives just the right touch of anguish and smypathy to both charcters in his delivery. To provide the emotional impact the writer intended.
"Nothin's Gonna Get me Down ( at Christmas time) is the one going to mainstream radio.
It is a cute song of how the weather, and the havoc it oft times creates can can put a damper on ones Christmas spirit.
However, if the stations receive a complete copy of "Songs Of The Season" I wouldn't be surprised to hear them play "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". Or anyone of the other non religious offerings from it. Randy proves that he can deliver a pop song or two or three ( on this album) with the best of them.
If you want an album that will truly enhance your Christmas spirit. This season and for many to come. Don't psss up picking up a copy of "Songs Of The Season" by one of the greatest vocalists among today's artists. You will be glad you did.

Are you looking for the traditional Christmas songs as "there's No Place Like home for the Holidays," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow?" Are you looking for the Christian tunes such as "Away in a Manger," "The First Noel," or "Little town of Bethlehem?" Or are you looking for something new? They're here!!!
First, you will note even the traditional songs are not as traditional as one might thing, with many of the songs having been re-arranged by Randy. A couple that particularly stand out are two of my favorites "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Oh Holy Night." Then there is Joy to the World" which is like no other offering I've ever heard.
The vocals, with Randy's rich baritone and a choir-like vocal background are terrific as is the musical instrumentation accompanying the CD.
Randy performs three new songs on the CD "Labor of Love," "Nothin's gonna Bring me Down at Christmas Time" and "Our King." "Labor of Love" is a beautifully performed song and although it starts out somewhat graphically and you wonder where it is going lyrically, one listen will tell you it is a song you'll probably find yourself playing again and again. "Nothin's Gonna bring me Down at Christmas Time" is an up-tempo song almost reminding one of the tongue-and-cheek songs Randy so often does on his CDs. It is about trials and tribulations that could bring you down during the holidays if you choose to let them. "Our King" written by Randy once again shows his unique writing ability wrapping up the CD with almost somewhat of a tribute to our Lord. I don't believe they could have ended with a more touching song.
The one thing that I noted about the CD is unlike many other artists and Christmas CDs, Randy offers more than one verse on many songs, sometimes performing three verses.
If you're truly looking for something to put some merriment in your Christmas, some joy in your New Year, this CD's for you.
