The Sweetest Gift

by Trisha Yearwood

Overview

Sweetest Gift is Trisha Yearwood's addition to the Christmas album market. Her countrified renditions of these Christmas classics remain pretty faithful to the original songs despite the genre she steers it towards. Fans of country would probably enjoy this album, as Yearwood has a beautiful voice that suites these songs just fine. ~ Bradley Torreano
