SILENT NIGHT - here the peaceful entry has been particularly successful.
Little Drummer Boy - a really successful version thanks to Andy McKee guitar, but would better fit a good drummer solo instead of Irish sounds.
I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS - unfortunately the song was backed by personal Christmas greetings from soldiers in Iraq, what is annoying on the one hand to political "acts on the other hand, the song would have better fitted to the end -. I therefore recommend JG Date to get last year.
AVE MARIA - apart from the fact that I personally find the song melodiously sad, the composition is not outstanding.
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH - both Pop and RnB sizes running on a track, really very nice. The McKnight style offers here a good contrast to Foster's opulence.
THANKFUL - a more modern Christmas song and a highlight of the CD, because it just sounds like JG.
The Christmas Song - nice that here the guitar in the foreground and the orchestra (almost) remains in the background.
What child is this - if you like the GREENSLEEVES melody, loves this song sure. I'm missing the festive atmosphere ...
The First Noel - The voices of JG, Faith Hill and the gospel choir come here to advantage without anyone sings on the wall to the other.
PETIT PAPA NOEL - finally a song in French!
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR - beautiful, especially the gospel choir at the end.
Panis Angelicus - naturally lacking in comparison with versions of Pavarotti and Co. the vocal volume (after all, JG Bass and not the operative part), yet beautiful to listen.
O Come All Ye Faithful - nice ending. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir I find too weak.
Conclusion: Although this has been criticized a lot; This Christmas CD offers a good singer, but less through unusual compositions. In addition, the song selection is not always successful. A positive feature is that above all songs are present, pay tribute to the Christian character of the original Christmas. On the other hand, it would also have been nice if there were some faster and funnier songs (eg Rudolph). But maybe (hopefully) makes Groban next year a modern Christmas CD out?
