The Christmas Collection

by: Amy Grant

September 30, 2008
Honestly, out of all the covers Christmas songs get, I've yet to find anyone as consistant and perfect for the job as miss Amy Grant. My family has kept her christmas CDs in heavy rotation all season long for years it seems, and they always sound fresh, they always bring the warmth and jolly of the time, and the reminder of the nativity.

I would recommend buying all her Christmas albums (i'm not sure how many there are) but if you'd rather hit the highlights then this one definately does the job. There's only a few tracks I would have liked to see make the cut, but for the most part these are the best. I love "count your blessings instead of sheep" i wish more people sang that song, it's brilliant.

Home for Christmas

by: Amy Grant

September 18, 2007
Home for Christmas by Amy Grant is a beautiful Christmas album from 1992. I was a huge Amy fan, her voice is sweet and emotional. This cd is worth purchasing just for the track Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) alone, it's that good and haunting. Grown-Up Christmas List and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree are also highlights. And doesn't Amy look absolutely gorgeous on the cover! Definitely a childhood favorite, buy it today!

A Christmas Album

by: Amy Grant

September 18, 2007
Wanna bless someone's Christmas? Buy this CD as a gift for them. In 1983 when I first bought the album--on cassette--my kids were kids. They are now adults with their own kids--and we all still listen to the album every year at Christmas. Always.

When we play this Christmas CD, we suddenly find ourselves back in time when we were kids listening to the stereo at home on Chrismtas Day. It's a perfect way to create or recall Christmas memories.

Greatest Hits

I thoroughly enjoy this CD. There is a selection of both the Christian and secular sides of her work. The soundmix is wonderful and she is very, very talented. I can very much recommend this CD to anyone that likes her style of music.

Lead Me On (20th Anniversary Edition) (2 CDs)

by: Amy Grant

June 24, 2008
This by far is one of the best albums..........period!
Since "Heart In Motion" became Amy's "Thriller"..."Lead Me On" is definetly her "Off The Wall"....an album that you can play over and over again and never get tired of it!
AND...if you have a chance to see the LEAD ME ON 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR...GO AND SEE IT!!!

Seeing her do these songs live after 20yrs is amazing! I remember all that I was going through when this album came out and how it got me through!!...It still has the same impact today as it did so long ago.

BTW, another reviewer mentioned how "Faithless Heart" is difficult to listen to considering what Amy has been through in her personal life...I understand why this was said ......BUT, I do want to share what ... Read More:

A Christmas to Remember

by: Amy Grant

September 18, 2007
To me, Christmas isn't Christmas without an Amy Grant CD being played. I wait impatiently for the holiday season to roll around so I can dig her holidays CDs out and play them incessantly. My favorite of hers is the now classic "Home For Christmas" which should be in every Christmas lover's CD collection. I place this offering, her third, right behind that one and before her first one, "The Christmas Album."(Which hasn't aged well). Heresy, you say? Not really. Granted, she doesn't really offer much here as a songwriter, but she still has an amazing gift for making a song her own. Her voice and delivery bring out so much emotion and is well suited to this, for the most part, well-chosen collection. There really isn't a bad track here, though as a few people have ...

Rock of Ages...Hymns & Faith

by: Amy Grant, Vince Gill

May 03, 2005
This is an album of Christian music, primarily but not entirely focused on older hymns. The music is fairly mainstream country-rock. Grant's voice is very beautiful. All of the songs are very good. For me, the stand-outs are "Joyful, Joyful" a Christian hymn set to Beethoven's secular-pagan-messianic classic "Ode to Joy" from the 9th Symphony and "El Shaddai," an extremely simple and moving hymn to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Company (2006 Broadway Revival Cast)

from: Nonesuch

February 20, 2007
I had seen this production in early 2008 when it aired on PBS and fell in love with the music. The production was beautiful, so when I bought this album I knew what i was in for. This CD is definitively one of the best recordings of a Sondheim show. It is expansive and yet intimate, it is polished and refined and yet modern and at sometimes bitingly truthful about marriage and being single and for that matter being alive!
