Christmas On the Pecos Review
This video was recorded in New Mexico at the beautiful Carlsbad Caverns. The scenery is gorgeous and Randy Travis' voice sounds better than ever.The first tune on this DVD is a song that children look forward to singing every year called "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." Although it is something that appeals to the younger crowd, just about everyone ends up singing along with it by the end.
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is a classic song that has been recorded by countless artists from across the board. It is a perfect tune that helps everyone get into the Christmas mood.
Randy performs the song "Rock Of Ages," but really shines bright with an awesome song called "How Do I Wrap My Heart For Christmas?" During this time of year, people spend countless hours and tons of money trying to find their better half the perfect gift. Well, once you have heard this track, it becomes clear that the perfect gift is free, it just takes pure love to make it special.
"Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire" is a tune that people still enjoy hearing each and every year. It has a warm feeling to it, and paints the picture of someone sitting around the fire staying warm with that special someone.
Bringing this DVD to an end is "Christmastime's A Comin'." After hearing this, it is impossible to not look forward to this festive time of year.
