Review by tom meagher

The album "The Birthday of Jesus" by Jimmy Williams & Red Ellis is a delightful collection of Christmas carols and hymns that will fill listeners with the spirit of the season. The album features a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary songs, all performed with skill and heart by Williams and Ellis.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "O Holy Night," which showcases Williams' rich, soulful voice and Ellis' virtuosic guitar playing. The duo's rendition of "Silent Night" is also a highlight, with Williams' tender vocals and Ellis' delicate fingerpicking creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

The album also includes some lesser-known gems, such as "The First Noel" and "What Child Is This?" that showcase Williams' and Ellis' ability to breathe new life into classic tunes. The album's closing track, "Joy to the World," is a rousing, foot-stomping rendition that will leave listeners feeling uplifted and energized.
