As we all know, Shane Barnard and Shane Everett from Killeen, Texas are a big selling act in US CCM though in Britain they still remain fairly unknown. In truth, this too predictable Christmas album is unlikely to change the situation. Their first venture into the seasonal market includes three original Christmas songs alongside favourites such as "Away In A Manger" and "Silent Night". The music has a jazzy/country/acoustic feel to it which is pleasant but hardly dynamic.
