4.0 out of 5 stars
unique Christmas CD, February 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Winter's Grace (Audio CD)
This cd is very Folksy with only a hint of traditional Christmas sound. I found it to be a favorite addition to my offbeat Christmas collection. The instrumentals and vocals were well blended. Those with bluegrass, folk, leanings would probably appreciate this cd. A mellow sound to wrap up in on a cold night.

Eclectic, tuneful, haunting, evocative, soothing...., November 22, 2006
This review is from: Winter's Grace (Audio CD)
I saw Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum for the first time a few weeks ago -- how have I missed hearing about them all these years? This CD has not left my stereo since I got it...I love the emphasis on nature, solstice, hope, and yes, grace. Thank you, Laurie and Tom, for choosing such an eclectic selection of tunes and delivering them with such heart! My favorite is the haunting, evocative Wintergrace, written by Jean Ritchie. This CD is not a play-it-twice-and-forget-it disc -- it will help you make it through the coldest and darkest of winters. Highly recommended for anyone who loves beautiful harmonies and evocative songs that keep reverberating in your ears, mind, and heart.

A mellow bluegrass/folk Christmas album, April 28, 2005
This review is from: Winter's Grace (Audio CD)
Laurie and Tom begin this album with The messenger, a long story song (sung by Laurie) which makes it clear that this a very unusual Christmas album.
The best known songs here are Merle Haggard's If we make it through December (sung by Tom) and the bluegrass classic Christmas time's a coming (sung by Laurie), this being about the most upbeat song here.
Laurie sings lead on Earth moves in a mysterious way, The gift and Wintergrace. Tom sings lead on Wassail song and Hot buttered rum. Both Laurie and Tom are accomplished musicians, and there are three instrumentals - The snowy road, Heiligste Nacht and Cold frosty morning.
This is one of the more unusual Christmas albums. This is great for Christmas music fans (like me) who are always looking for something different, or for fans of folk and mellow bluegrass music.
