Go Tell It On the Mountain

Julie and her musician friends — professionals, all — put together this refreshing folk-pop collection of Christmas standards. Performed with a sincere appreciation for the magic and joy of this holiday—and clear reverence for the Nativity it celebrates — Go Tell It on the Mountain includes traditional carols, the popular Advent hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," a rousing arrangement of the classic spiritual "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and "Christmas Tradition," a wonderful new song reflecting on seasonal customs.

It's a great mix of quieter, acoustic tracks, Julie's vocals accompanied only by piano or guitar, and hearty, jumping, jazzy, full-ensemble numbers backed by drums, keyboards, electric guitar and bass.

Besides being a great seasonal gift, this is perfect music for that December drive across town for a holiday visit, for decorating the house and tree, for singing along, and for any celebration of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
