Really Good and Unique Christmas Album
5
By Garrett Rank
Anything Peter Hollens does is magic. And yes, I just kinda quoted the lyrics of a The Police song. it's true though, because I've been an avid fan of his work since 2011, and every song and three, now 4-ish albums (from 2014's Peter Hollens to 2017's Covers Vol. III to this delue album) he has released are all magical and worthwhile and meaningful and enriching listens that speak to my emotions and heart, and may just to yours as well. From vocal covers of famous songs to duets with his wife Evelynn Hollens and collaborations with artists like The Piano Guys and Lindsey Stirling and many more, Peter Hollens is a strong singer and is a very generous and genuinely good person (it's easy to tell in his wonderful Patreon and Youtube introduction and closing of his all-vocal covers and originals). Peter Hollens utilizes his voice to full effect here, to convey the meaning, wonder, and faithful hope and love of the hoidays to bring joy and love to those who hear and enjoy his music. My personal favs are "December Song", an original, and his cover of "Happy X-Mas (War is Over)".
The original "A Hollens Family Christmas" came out last December, and this December Peter Hollens added 6 NEW SONGS to the Deluxe version. I don't know about you, but that's a darn good deal if there ever was one. 17 songs for 12.99 is a good value. Or if you prefer to stream, stream away as that is also a good way to enjoy your music as well.
Anyhow, Peter Hollens is a amazing talent who uses his One Voice (lol but true) to produce, shape, and create sounds for every single one of his covers and originals; and all of his songs never ceases to amaze me or my friends and family. Seriously, this guy is the real deal and he's underrated as well. A Hollens Family Christmas Deluxe comes highly recommended from a long-time fan and enjoyer of Peter Hollen's music.
