[Update: as you can see from the comments, this website went offline pretty much right after I made this post.]
Today's featured album comes to us from Buena Vista, Colorado-based 608 South, "a worship band for God's pleasure". Treeline Christmas is actually one of the more varied Christmas albums I have featured here. Vocally, it is a mixture of male, female, and children's vocals. There is occasionally some spoken narration, including a child narrating part of "Away in a Manger"; the contrast between the adult and child voices on that song is very nice. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "We Three Kings" are both instrumentals featuring some surprisingly good guitar playing; both these songs are among the highlights of the album. All the variation makes the album feel a bit like a Trans-Siberian Orchestra album, only mellower and without an overarching story. Overall, the album is fairly upbeat and is a very pleasant listen.
Go download Treeline Christmas and let me know what you think of it. Until next time, happy listening!

Indeed it is. Wow, what are the odds of that? It was working when I made this post. That is too bad, as it's a truly wonderful album.
Oh well, don't worry about it; I will continue to monitor the site, and if it comes back online, I will post an update. If you're subscribed to this site's feed, you'll know about it right away.
Thanks for the heads up!
