Free Music Notes for WOW Christmas
Free Music Review: WOW - I spent $15 on this?
Hit: 2 Stars
I purchased this CD expecting a modern interpretation of classic Christmas songs. Unfortunately, the CD falls flat. The best way to describe the music is "Lounge singers performing in an ABC Christmas special". An example is "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Bethany Dillon. It sounds as if a Marilyn Monroe impressionist is performing the song. And when you think it can not get any worse, David Crowder sings "Feliz Navidad", a rendition that is so bad it deserves to be on Saturday Night Live as a comedy sketch.
Not every song is a flop. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" by Third Day is a surprising standout. It is creative, innovative, and offers a modern sound to a traditional hymn. The Natalie Grant interpretation of "Joy to the Word" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" by Rebbecca St. James also deserve honorable mention.
But the other 27 songs could be used by the US military to torture enemy combatants.
WOW Christmas Poster
Christian artists and Christmas music go together like milk and cookies left for Santa. But for every cold, delicious glass of milk there's a stale cookie. Same can be said for WOW Christmas. There are plenty of traditional renderings like the delightful "Jingle Bell Rock" from Point of Grace, who could sing pages out of a phonebook and make it sound like the holidays; Zoegirl's "What Child Is This?"; Casting Crowns' "Away In A Manger"; Matthew West's "Let It Snow"; and, Mark Schultz's "The First Noel." For a different spin on the classics, check out Rebecca St. James' "Hark The Herald Angels Sing," otherwordly and strangely appealing; Tobymac's reggae-tinged "O Come All Ye Faithful"; Relient K's "Deck The Halls," which holds just enough energetic chutzpah to escape any charges of irreverency; and Bethany Dillon's smoldering jazzy take on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." New classics here give us a smile like Newsong's "The Christmas Shoes", David Crowder's south-of-the-border "Feliz Navidad," and Jars of Clay's ethereal "Little Drummer Boy." As for those overbaked cookies--FFH's close-but-no-cigar reworking of "Do You Hear What I Hear" or Jump 5's beat-silly "Sleigh Ride" will still be on the plate when Santa splits town. --Michael LyttleChristian & Gospel Music CDs
