This holiday collection opens with a haunting rendition of the classic “O Holy Night” and they pick up the pace with a refreshing and upbeat version of “Go Tell It on the Mountain.”
“Away in a Manger” is nostalgic and heartfelt. Equally moving is their soothing spiritual ballad “It’s Christmas Time,” and the inclusion of “O Come, All Ye Faithful” is an added treat. “Jingle Bells” is uptempo, joyful and fun.
After the witty “I’m Gonna Get That Santa Clause,” it closes with the traditional Christmas carol “What Child Is This” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (We Three Kings).”
Christmas Time is available on Apple Music and on Spotify.
Throughout their career in the music business, Flat River Band has opened for such artists as Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, and TG Sheppard, among others.
