"We love those classic Christmas recordings. And we cherish the chance to hear Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, the Beach Boys, Darlene Love and other greats sing these standards each and every Christmas season. Yet, we also like to spice things up and add some new voices to our holiday playlist. Thankfully, we never have any shortage of contenders trying to make the cut."
"The country act's first seasonal offering, 2012's On This Winter's Night, was a joyous affair that included sparkling versions of such Christmas classics as The First Noel and Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Thirteen years later, the platinum-plus-selling Nashville trio consisting of lead vocalists Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley as well as the multi-talented Dave Haywood returns with an equally good follow-up record."
"The holidays are about to get heavy but in the right way as powerhouse metal act Stryper finally releases its first-ever Christmas album. The SoCal outfit, best known for the platinum-selling 80s offering To Hell with the Devil, thoroughly rocks us around the Christmas tree as it thunders through a mix of holiday classics and originals. As far as the latter goes, we are really enjoying turning up the volume on Still the Light which features some blistering guitar work from Michael Sweet and Oz"
