The album opens with the upbeat and cheery “You and Me and Christmas,” and it is followed by an angelic medley of such Christmas classics as “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.”
Equally beautiful is the acoustic ballad “The Gift of Your Love,” where Rimes’ voice is pure as the driven snow. She displays her crisp voice on “Carol of the Bells,” and equally elegant is the title track “It’s Christmas Eve,” whose lyrics are pure poetry.
She picks up the pace with “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and “Last Christmas.” It closes with a hypnotic and soothing rendition of “White Christmas” and “Suite from It’s Christmas Eve.”
It’s Christmas, Eve is available on iTunes.
