Every year we buy a new CD to add to it. After fifteen years, this CD is still our favorite. Although we've got a nice collection, every year, try as we might, we can never find a Christmas CD that compares to this one. Gill's smooth, soothing voice, accompanied by simple beautiful musical arrangements and background vocals make listening to this CD a perfect way to relax and enjoy and appreciate the season. The album contains some gorgeously done classics and a jazzy, fun instrumental in "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Gill does a sweet duet with his young daughter, Jenny, with "Let there be Peace on Earth." But it's the wonderful originals "One Bright Star," "Til the Season Comes Around Again," and "It Won't be the Same This Year" that make this album extra special. These songs tug at the heartstrings of the most heardened of us and cause tears to well in the eyes of the rest of us - especially, "It Won't be the Same. ." in which Gill laments the loss of his older brother, Bob, to whom the CD is dedicated. Listening to this CD will help you truly appreciate the meaning of the season. Buy it, gather your loved ones, put your feet up, and you will, indeed, experience peace on earth. Thanks, Vince. Editorial Reviews for Let There Be Peace On Earth Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Vince Gill's first holiday effort is split between secular favorites and Christian carols, but whether he's dreaming of a "White Christmas" or asking "What Child Is This," the performances and arrangements are consistently careful, quiet, and slow. Sometimes, this effect is nearly magical--on "I'll Be Home For Christmas," the hushed and hesitant piano and Gill's high tenor sound as yearning as a dream unfulfilled. But, excepting a couple of Chet Atkinslike instrumentals, the more common result is that what should sound peaceful and humble comes off merely solemn and emotionally detached. The closing "It Won't Be the Same This Year," however, makes up for these disappointments when the formerly restrained Gill cuts loose, for once, and cries sweetly in memory of a departed older brother. --David Cantwell
