Vince Gill
His smooth vocals make this a wonderful addition to my Christmas music. I just love a good tenor & Vince definitely qualifies. .


Breath of Heaven
This is just a wonderful Christmas CD with the easy listening voice of Vince Gill.


Great take on Christmas classics
Contrary to some other reviews "A Cradle in Bethlehem" is not a new song. A solid effort from one the best tenors in the business. Hasn't anyone heard the classic Nat King Cole album "The Christmas Song"? The song is on there. I think Mr. Cole introduced the Alfred Bryan/Larry Stock song on this album in the 50's. It's great to hear someone sing it again.


A Breath of Heaven
) that have also added to all our Christmas's over the years; this album is a must in this category of Christmas standards. Vince IMHO is Americas's premier country baladeer in general, with this compilation of him crooning popular Christmas songs, he rightly joins others (Frank, Nat,Bing etc.

For the most part I like the blend of combining the orchestra with Vince's voice, but because I am biased to wanting to hear more Vince, on some songs the Orchestra is a bit overshadowing. I bought six for stocking stuffers :-).


Country singer Vince uses orchestra for Christmas album
It is a wonderful Christmas album that should appeal to fans of easy-listening music by the likes of Andy Williams and others. Vince, with is high tenor voice, is one of the finest singers that country music has ever poroduced - however, this album is not a country album.

This was Vince's second Christmas album and (like the first) Vince sticks mainly to famous songs, being careful to avoid those that he included on his earlier album (Let there be peace on earth). The only unusual songs here are the title track (written by Amy Grant, who eventually married him and who has recorded three brilliant Christmas albums of her own), It's the most wonderful time of the year (which doesn't appear on Christmas albums as often as it deserves) and A cradle in Bethlehem (another excellent song that could do with greater exposure).

Vince is in superb voice throughout with the orchestra providing tasteful backing on every track. So, once you get over any initial surprise at hearing Vince supported by an orchestra instead of Nashville musicians, this album is exactly what you'd expect - brilliant.
