Acclaimed singer/songwriter Matthew west has released his first, full length Christmas project titled The Heart Of Christmas . The album contains an even mix of six recognizable Christmas songs and original holiday tunes penned by West, as well as guest appearances from notables such as Vince Gill, Amy Grant and Mandisa. I cannot stop listening to this album. It is the perfect mix of classic and original songs, upbeat and laid back tunes all in perfect Matthew West style.
Track List:
- Come On, Christmas-A fun upbeat song expressing the anticipation of the season
- Jingle Bells
- The Heart Of Christmas-a call to remember the true meaning of Christmas
- Leaving Heaven (featuring Vince Gill)-an country-ish song about why Jesus is leaving heaven and coming to earth
- Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
- One Last Christmas-a tearjerker based on a true story about a young cancer patient
- Silent Night (Interlude)
- Give This Christmas Away (featuring Amy Grant)-from VeggieTales: Saint Nicholas – A Story of Joyful Giving-2009
- O, Holy Night
- Christmas Makes Me Cry (featuring Mandisa)-a poignant song of remembrance
- Oh, Come All Ye Faithful
- Day After Christmas-reminding us that Jesus is still here after Christmas is over

Love it. Thanks for sharing. No tour close to me either.
Wish the tour was coming to CA- oh well, maybe next year
Nice one. I had heard some of the tracks. Was hoping that the tour comes near me but failed, Hoping for next year.
