Author/arranger Devan Archer has added his own brand of challenging counterpoint. The ?Nashville Sound? has long been a presence in gospel, pop and rock music but appears here in a Christmas repertoire, perhaps for the first time. ?Good King Wenceslas? and ?God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen? have never swung so hard!
