Music reviews of An Inconvenient Christmas
Music Review: Christmas harmony
Rating: 4 Stars
It just makes perfect sense for the Oaks to release Christmas albums. After all, the group has its roots in Gospel music, which is music as much about Christianity as a Christmas album is supposed to be. So, while Santa gets the ocassional mention the emphasis definitely lies on religious material. Because of this, the material quite often seems miles away from Country music.Country harmonies aside, this feels primarily like a Gospel album.
"My son" felt weird at first as it's sung from Mary's point of view but it soon became my favorite as it's so wonderfully sung. Plus, the lyrics tell you so much about Jesus the song really ought to be played beyond the season. This is also true for the album's other highlight "The hallelujah chorus" which simply blew me away first time I heard it. The Oaks never sounded so powerful and, well, religious as on this song. Spine-tingling stuff. The title track and "Beautiful star of Bethlehem" also deserve a special mention.
Overall, if Christmas truly is all about celebrating your Christianity, then this is the album for you.
