"Actually, nothing is going on on earth with this album, it's inspiration is obviously from the heavenly realms! James Hall Christmas epitomises James Hall's and Melvyn Crispell's adaptability and creativity. Credit to be given where it's due, new flavas have been added by other individuals which take this album to yet another level. From the contemporary 'He Trusted In God' to the dynamic, yet quaint 'Whiter Than Snow' and not forgetting 'Unto Us A Child Is Born', every track on this album is brilliant technically, musically, vocally. If you know James Hall & Worship and Praise you will simply sigh (after the initial shock and amazement, and once you've come back to earth) and say, 'James Hall has done it again'. For those of you who don't know, get to know - talk about money well spent, this album will satisfy you - spiritually, theologically (listen to the interludes),physically (you can dance the hell outta some of these tracks!) and musically it's a sheer pleasure to listen to. Absolutely fantastic. Now, where's the 'Messiah' album gone?......."
