Review of Michael W Smith - It's A Wonderful Christmas

Michael W Smith's new Christmas Album is a superb Christmas production. You know just like a movie soundtrack where you hear the entire ensemble from the Orchestra, that's how the entire album sounds like. With songs, music instrumentals and duet with American Idol's Mandisa .. all the 11 songs were done so so well.

I would say that the album is different from those "Christmas CD" that you would wanna play, hit Repeat, in a Christmas Party. This is a collector's item. I also do believe some of the songs could be used in soundtracks for movies with Christmas themes. Its really really well done.

And to get a fore-taste of how the entire CD will go, take a look at the "Making Of Its A Wonderful Christmas" Video below. Check out the Orchestra in action and Michael does some explanation of the songs that was done in the CD!! Really really excellent!

Yes its totally worth to purchase it. :) Thanks Michael W Smith for this great Christmas album!



It’s A Wonderful Christmas features the winning singer-songwriter joining forces
with four amazing choirs, among them a 100-voice choir and also a 16-member
London boy’s choir directed by John Tobin, and a 67-piece orchestra at London’s
Abbey Road studios. Also featured is a duet with American Idol’s Mandisa. As the
strings soar and the bells ring, you can almost feel winter’s nip in the air and
smell the fragrance of pine trees as Smith’s music puts you in that holiday
mood.
