Celebrate the beauty and majesty of this time of year with a three generation family of first class vocalists and musicians, singing and playing their finest for Christmastime. Ricky Skaggs along with his wife and their children are joined by their relatives in another celebrated musical clan, The Whites, with their own perfect blend of tight family harmony that has been lovingly crafted into A Skaggs Family Christmas, Vol. II. This delightful release gives us a reason to listen to the season of songs both old and new, played in a refreshing acoustic style. As a bonus, the A Skaggs Family Christmas Live DVD is included (that fans have been anxiously awaiting) and features the family’s heartwarming show they have been touring across the country for 8 years. Singing together and separately in turn, each family member plays a part, marking this album and DVD as one you will long remember and continue to play over and over in your home at Christmas. The 10 track CD ensemble includes joyful bluegrass tunes “Christmas Time’s A Coming” and “Children Go” along with a beautiful rendition of “Light of the Stable.” Beloved classic songs “Silent Night” arranged with charming mandolin and soaring strings, a cappella “The First Noel” and harmonious “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” add a familiar yet distinctive touch to this collection. Not to miss “Reunion Song” is country-infused with steel guitar. The exquisite “What Songs Were Sung” with lovely vocals and piano will leave you spellbound with its beauty, and two instrumental songs “Flight to Egypt” and uplifting “Joy to the World” round out this exclusive assortment of holiday jewels. From our family to yours, A Skaggs Family Christmas, Vol. II is sure to please during this most special time of the year.
