Arranger: Johnny Cash. This 2007 holiday collection presents classic Christmas songs performed by country luminaries. While the compilation primarily features younger artists such as Carrie Underwood (a graceful reading of "Do You Hear What I Hear") and Brad Paisley (a charming take on "Winter Wonderland"), the well-sequenced set also makes room for a few tracks by the old guard, most notably Ronnie Milsap ("It Came Upon A Midnight Clear") and the late Johnny Cash, who closes HEAR SOMETHING COUNTRY CHRISTMAS with a poignant rendition of "Silent Night." Hear Something Country: Christmas rounds up 14 Christmas-themed songs, six of them new and previously unreleased, by mainstream country stars. Four of the six new songs are sung by women (Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Terri Clark, Sara Evans), and the CD comes with a coupon for a free one-year subscription to Ladies' Home Journal. There's plenty of guys featured on Hear Something Country: Christmas, though, including Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Blaine Larsen, Keith Anderson, Montgomery Gentry, Phil Vassar, Brooks & Dunn, and even a vintage Johnny Cash recording of "Silent Night" from 1972. No other song here dates further back than 1999, making this a thoroughly contemporary batch of songs. ~ Jason Birchmeier |
