Rose of Bethlehem by Selah (CD, Oct-2002, Curb Records USA)

Very touching Christmas music...........encouraging in our faith, and mellow to listen to..........love this group ! Nichole has the mellow voice perfect to blend with her brother Todd, and Allans piano makes a vibrant trio. They
reflect their upbringing in Africa on several selections.....a Winner !

I bought this CD several months ago, and I still love it just as much as I did when I first got it. This is the only Christmas CD that I can listen to in the summer.

I have enjoyed most items by Selah since discovering them a few years ago. I also love various Christmas albums. This one is very good, especially if you like Selah's sound. Their rendition of Silent Night has become one of my favorites - very smooth and elegant, the way it was meant to be sung. Dolly Parton does a cameo on this CD as well, which is nice. This is a great overall Christmas album for background music at a get-together or at work or at home. Not a dull Christmas offering! This is a pleaser!

I love this group, having first heard them sing, "god Bless the Broken Road" at a wedding in July. It left my husband and me in tears. The group is a Christian group, but they have a much deeper feel than most with a bluesy gospel sound and rich harmonies. The members take turns on the solos and on one piece, Dolly Parton sings a verse as a guest. I have bought all their albums in the 6 months since I first heard them and I eagerly await their next album.
