Um...this man has been singing for quite some time now...and...in all honesty...NEEDS TO SING EVEN MORE! His voice is still sheer perfection and his new Christmas Album is FANTASTIC! I have had it on repeat in my car since I downloaded it. Besides being mega talented, he is also just so sweet and down to earth. I had such a great time chatting with him about music and the reason that this album is so special to him. Seriously...go download the album. :)
