Gift is the up-to-the-minute Christmastide cadmium set out by the richly talented Jim Brickman who once again have delivered a superb aggregation of tracks. I'm confident Jim Brickman fans, and Christmastide fans alike will be pleased with this one.
Gift will catch your attending right from the very first short letter with Joy To The World and doesn't allow travel until the very last short letter of the very last song The Gift, which by the manner is another great track.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this cadmium is the manner all of the participating people look to be really enjoying themselves. Compound that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Jim Brickman's most impressive releases ever.
Overall Gift is a solid release. Quite possibly Jim Brickman's best to date. Really dramatic from beginning to end. If you're level mildly into Christmastide music you'll bask this album.
While the full record record album is really very good the truly standout melodies are path 2 - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, path 11 - Little Town Of Bethlehem, and path 13 - The Gift.
My Bonus Pick, and the 1 that got Sensitive [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is path 1 - Joy To The World. Good stuff!
