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
Reinventing Christmas Music
David Crowder*Band does something extraordinary with this short album: They bring new life to the Christmas music genre. All of these songs are incredible pieces of art they are both familar and unique. Highlights include the bluegrass version of "Angels We Have Heard On High," the epic build and payoff of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," the beautiful transition from "O Holy Night" to Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" chorus, the newly written verses for "Silent Night," and epic dueling guitar solos of "Carol of the Bells." Seriously, 'Oh For Joy' is a piece of art. Never has Christmas seemed so fresh and exciting. It works as both a holiday and worship album. Thank you, David Crowder*Band. It's sad to see you go, but we can't wait until 'Requiem' drops in January.
Awesome
It's David Crowder! It has to be awesome!
Christmas In October!!
The David Crowder*Band is and always will be my #1 band. Not only did they play a part in me coming to accept Jesus but if they can make me sing Christmas songs in October; I just have to say that that takes talent!! Good job DC*B. I'll miss you guys and I'm really looking forward to January 10th :)
