The Morris Trio just sent us their Christmas Project for review and I wanted to get that in before the season was past us!  The project includes several songs that will be familiar to the listeners.

"O Come All Ye Faithful" is the first song and is followed by a song called "Gloria."  I know that song as "Angels We Have Heard On High" and it is one of my favorites.  "The First Noel" is another standard followed by "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear."

The Morris Trio moves towards a traditional tune with "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" which is another Christmas favorite.  "O Holy Night" has probably been recorded by thousands of Gospel Groups and this version is a good one.  "He Came Here For Me" is a song I was not familiar with but I enjoyed the song and especially the message of it.

A great medley is next with "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" and "Carol Of The Bells."  Another medley of a couple of traditional songs follows with "Deck The Halls" and "White Christmas."  The final song on the project was a bit of a surprise to find on a Southern Gospel Recording as the Morris Trio sings "Please Come Home For Christmas."

The Morris Trio is quite talented and this project is very enjoyable for the listener.  If there was one negative to it the instrumentals seems to overpower the vocals at time but it was only in spots doesn't hurt the overall enjoyment of the project.  My favorite songs were "Gloria," "The First Noel" and "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year."  The Morris Trio is probably a little more progressive than some groups but you will enjoy the Christmas sounds from this talented trio!
