Music Monday - Kevin Max - "Holy Night"


On Monday's I've decided to highlight music that I deem to be worthy of your attention. Thus the title, "Music Monday".

Recently as I was scrolling through a friend's iPod, I stubbled upon a new Christmas album by former member of Christian super-group, DC Talk, Kevin Max. I have long been a huge fan of Kevin's voice and I personally think he is literally one of the best singers in the world. I know what you are thinking... "Who needs another Christmas album? Allow me to contradict myself. You don't need another Christmas album, but you absolutely need this one. I know April showers don't exactly get you in the mood for, "Deck the Halls" but this record in one that you don't want to pass up when the snow starts to fall and the over-the-top marketing blitz begins to overtake all five of your senses. These arrangements are very fresh, but at the same time reverent and true to the orginal melodies of these time tested songs. Like I said earlier, Kevin's voice is one of a kind and he does not disappoint on this record.

You can purchase the record here and on that same page you can find the link that allows you to audio stream the whole record.

You can read another great review here.
