The Metal CCM band Flyleaf have a new album in stores, now, "Between The Stars". Released in September, the album reached #1 on the Alternative charts, #3 on the Christian charts, and #33 on the overall album charts. Celebrating that success, the band has gifted a newly recorded version of "O Holy Night" (they must have known that's my favorite, right?). There are some great Rock versions of "O Holy Night"; the song lends itself well to the genre. But Flyleaf brings new dimensions to the song (IMHO), wrenching every last bit of passion and beauty from it and all while rocking until the walls shake and the windows break.
There's good news, here, too. For a limited time, the Christian site New Release Tuesday (yes, the same folks who are offering a free download "NRT Christmas" album already) has a free download of the song available. Get it while the gettin's good. And I say that because...
Last December, Flyleaf recorded a version of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" which was only available as a download to people who pledged toward their "Between The Stars" recording. And it's not currently being offered anywhere (for sale or download) a year later. We can still listen, however. (Please note: I hate streams. As a collector, they frustrate me. Were there not a free download available of "O Holy Night", I would not post this stream on its own. Just sayin'.)
