Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Veteran Christian band Newsong decided to include the sentimental ballad, 'Christmas Shoes,' as a bonus track on 2000's Sheltering Tree, unaware that the almost O. Henry-esque tale about a young boy attempting to buy a pair of shoes as a Christmas present for his dying mother would blow up into a massive hit. So overwhelming was the response to that song (it landed atop Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart) that the group decided to fashion an entire holiday album around it, naturally titling it Christmas Shoes. In addition to the heart-wrenching title track, the contemporary Christian rockers serve up some beautifully arranged versions of cherished favorites such as 'Away in the Manger/God Rest Ye, Merry Gentleman,' 'The First Noel,' and 'What Child Is This,' as well as an impish, rather histrionic version of 'You're a Mean One, Mr.Grinch' which should tickle the underage set. Newsong have also written a number of well-crafted, infectious holiday songs that don't bludgeon you with heavy-handed inspirational messages, but instead shine brightly with the true spirit of the holiday. --Jaan Uhelszki Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Christmas Shoes CD is our new family favoriteThe Christmas Shoes CD we purchased arrived in a very timely fashion, and in great shape. It has lived up to our hopes and we have all enjoyed it. Rating: - One of the best Christmas albums ever!Every song on this album is well done. The voices of Newsong blend together perfectly. This album is like no others. It blends original music with some traditional Christmas songs. Sing Noel is one of the best Christmas songs ever written, in my opinion. Rating: - Christmas Shoes CDThis CD was sent as a gift!!! It arrived on time and in perfect condition. Rating:  - C.D.The c.d. was received quicky but it must have been a used c.d. After just two playings of the c.d, it skipped on several songs. UGH!!!! Next time I want a new item. I was not told it was used and it did not state that it was used. Not a very good impression for a first time user!!!! Rating: - CHRISTMAS SHOESI LOOKED FOR THIS SONG "CHRISTMAS SHOES" FOR YEARS, THE WHOLE CD TURN OUT TO BE EXCELLENT. |
