THOUGHTS:
Christmas is a truly special time of year! It is a time of celebration and praise as we honor the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ! This latest instrumental album from Josh Townsend (of Legacy Five) truly captures the magic of the season. Townsend, as I have stated in earlier reviews, is one of the best young talents in all of Southern Gospel Music. The Keys Of Christmas showcases Townsend’s beautiful piano stylings as he puts his own spin on the classics. I particularly enjoyed his bouncy version of “Deck The Halls/Up On The Rooftop,” the swinging “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” and the groovy “We Three Kings.” Townsend also showcases his vocal talent on the beautiful “In The Bleak Midwinter,” a tender holiday ballad.
This is a must buy for all fans of Southern Gospel and Christmas music alike. These fresh arrangements of many of your favorite Christmas classics are sure to fill your hearts with the Spirit of the season!
4 OUT OF 5 STARS!
