A great pair she has the most perfect voice in country music she don't have to strain to make it come out smooth she is very good with any song she sing's..
what a beautiful song. this came out before i listened to country music. i heard it for the first time on christmas day 2010. whith chet atkins how could it not turn out great. thanks
bueymat-casting crowns rendition is great and will turn this song into a classic. I'm 55 and had never this song till CC did it. Merry Christmas and peace on Earth!
I love this version. I like Casting Crowns, but they did a version of this song that TOTALLY distorted this amazing melody. A shame. Most younger people don't know this incredible original melody.
Eddy Arnold recorded this on his Christmas album that was released in 1962 and re released in 1967 with none other than Chet Atkins, W4CGP playing the guitar. Chet was also a "HAM" radio operator and now sadly has "SK' added. SK meaning Silent Key.
One of alltime favoirte 5 Christmas songs....In December of 2001, I played this song over and over in the wake of 9/11. It still gives me a sense of hope in this mad world.
I don't think anyone has done better than Suzy singing this.
This is an awesome rendition of this - but if you really want to understand the song it comprises 6 or 7 verses written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1864 - set to this music I believe in the 1950's - the middle two verses are very black, "And from each black accursed mouth, the cannons thundered in the south" is a line to get a reference. It is worth reading because the last verse stands strong against it.
one of the best Christmas Albums. She released this one in 2001. Its my favorite Christmas record next to Bing Crosby's "White Christmas".

the casting crowns version is (for me anyway) hard to describe as a melody. nevertheless, count it at least the fourth "tune" if you will.

this carol has at least three different melodies and chord changes, of which this is my favorite, and the one i learned and play myself'

Such slanted words against the South. But other than that, I love Suzy's version of this great Christmas song.

Too bad that the bells have pealed for Chet, but he left some beautiful music behind.
