If you like guitar with your Christmas music, then check out award-winning blues-rock artist Chris Colepaugh's latest Holiday release.
Chris has morphed the traditional song "Angels We Have Heard On High" from a choral church hymn to an Americana southern-style rocker.
lyrics
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
