iTunes Review

The David Crowder Band brings an innovative edge to traditional nativity songs on Oh for Joy. In many ways, the group’s freewheeling treatment of these Christmas favorites is of a piece with the sound they forged on A Collision and Church Music. DCB’s ability to balance rootsy country-folk elements with rock dynamics and electronic dance rhythms serves them well throughout the project. Shimmering guitar work and hard-thumping drums bring out the sense of exaltation within “The First Noel” and “Joy to the World.” “Angels We Have Heard on High” and the closing moments of “Silent Night” reflect the band’s love for acoustic bluegrass jamming. At the other extreme is the very contemporary treatment given to “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and “Carol of the Bells”; anyone in the mood for arena-rock heroics will be righteously stirred by the latter. What unites these eclectic interpretations is a worshipful spirit that makes the songs’ timeless language glow with renewed fire.

Customer Reviews

Classic with a twist

Classic Christmas songs with a unique twist that only David Crowder and his bandmates could provide. Short and sweet and full of Crowder Christmas Excellence. Gonna miss these guys. God bless.

Another Christmas album (Yawn)

I'm pretty sure some of these songs were recorded at Passion 2010.

Christmas is NOW!

Thank you so much to a band that influenced the entire Christian worship genre for years. This album includes the traditional songs we all love for the Christmas season, but D*CB have kept their artistry and truly made the songs their own. If you are a fan of the band you'll love it, and if you love Christmas then this album will make you feel like it 'tis the season now.
