Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

As an incredibly successful TV drama that encourages the perseverance of the human spirit against all odds, Touched by an Angel is a natural outlet for the religious celebration of Christmas. The lineup is a veritable who's who of contemporary country, R&B, pop, and gospel, and the music is all smooth as butter, with pianos twinkling like lights on the tree. Angel star Della Reese contributes the mild R&B-inflected "I Can Dream." Country star Randy Travis, with a bounty of flutes and stringed instruments, adds his Nashville twang to the Elizabethan ballad "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Keb' Mo' contributes the finger-pickin' blues surprise "Jingle Bell Jamboree." Charlotte Church, the Welsh-born classical singer who topped the charts at the ripe old age of 12, delivers the incredibly poised "Panis Angelicus." Kirk Franklin collaborates with Crystal Lewis on "I Still Believe." Roma Downey closes things out with the dramatic spoken-word piece "An Irish Blessing." --Rob O'Connor

If you like TBAA and the other things that are on the market by the creators, then you will definitely like this CD. You will be able to enjoy this at any time of the year, not just Christmas. It has all of your top artists on the CD singing your famorite Christmas music. This is definitely a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album, December 7, 1999

By	Tyler (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This is a great album, not just for Christmas. I have to say if you're going to buy one album this year, make it this one. The songs I Still Believe, One Silent Night, and Miracles are three of the best songs I've heard, and transcend the season. And the closing song, An Irish Blessing, really hits home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for December, December 14, 2000

By	Anna M. Allred "Teacher and Reader" (Talbott, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great CD. Any listener should not limit it to airplay in November and December. With the exception of a few tracks, this is more of a spiritual rather than a purely holiday album. Among its srongest songs is Wayne Watson's "In Such a Time as This" and Della Reese singing "If I Can Dream." Any fan of spiritual music and the tv show will love this!
