Amy Grant - The Christmas Collection

If ever there was a need for a holiday-only compilation by a single artist, it is for the sensational and influential Christmas songbook of Amy Grant. Her three Christmas albums have contributed some of the most beloved and well-known holiday pop songs ever recorded, from the faithful "Grown-Up Christmas List" to the warmly personal "Breath of Heaven." The Christmas Collection culls hits from her three holiday recordings and adds four new tracks. Fans who already have Grant's other albums might find the new material a bit too sparse to pick this one up, but it represents her holiday catalog more than plentifully. At 18 tracks, there is plenty of Christmas cheer for everyone. ~ Jared Johnson, All Music Guide
