Betty Johnson - Englands Carol
Review by Karen Johnson
Betty Johnson's album, "England's Carol," is a beautiful and captivating collection of traditional English Christmas songs. The album features Johnson's rich and melodious voice, accompanied by a variety of instruments, including strings, woodwinds, and brass. Each song is arranged with care and attention to detail, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.
The album opens with the classic carol, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," which showcases Johnson's powerful vocals and the lush orchestration. Other highlights include "The Holly and the Ivy," which features a lovely flute solo, and "Coventry Carol," which is hauntingly beautiful.
