Phil Driscoll - The Spirit Of Christmas

Review by Sifu Paul Wang

The Spirit of Christmas by Phil Driscoll is a classic holiday album that captures the essence of the season in a soulful and uplifting way. Featuring Driscoll's signature trumpet playing and smooth vocals, the album is a collection of traditional Christmas songs, as well as original compositions that celebrate the joy and wonder of the holiday season.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Joy to the World", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Driscoll's rendition of "O Holy Night" is particularly moving, with his soaring trumpet solos adding a sense of majesty and reverence to the song. Other standout tracks include the jazzy "Let It Snow" and the gospel-infused "Go Tell It on the Mountain".

Throughout the album, Driscoll's arrangements are lush and full-bodied, with a mix of horns, strings, and percussion that create a warm and inviting sound. His vocals are equally impressive, ranging from soulful crooning to powerful belting that showcases his range and versatility as a singer.

The Spirit of Christmas is a must-have for anyone who loves classic holiday music with a contemporary twist. Driscoll's passion and artistry shine through in every track, making this album a timeless addition to any Christmas music collection.
