The beauty and elegance of acoustic music is something I fell in love with as a child. And today’s two artists are quite skilled at it. Their less is more approach on today’s Christmas carol brings it to life in a simply sublime way.

The cover of today’s song was only recorded about five years ago but it has become one of my all time favorite versions of this classic holiday track. Sometimes a unique & innovative approach can turn a tune you have heard a thousand times into a whole new experience. This beautiful delicate interpretation definitely falls into that category.

“The First Noel the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep“.
