Award-winning Jason has established himself as a solo since leaving the Crabb Family and here demonstrates a wide variety of musical influences taking in country, blues, classical and inspirational pop. With various songs, hymns and carols, from "Go Tell It On The Mountain" to a powerful rendition of "Silent Night" there is something to suit most tastes. As well as the yuletide evergreens there's a new song, "Joseph", a reflective song about Joseph's faithfulness, and the folksy "Christmas In The Country". A project which stands up well compared with many production line Christmas albums.
