Plus One, Christmas

Plus One was a Christian band that had its run from about 1999–2004. One member Nathan Walters, had been in our homeschool group. When an early concert was held in Lakeland, Florida, we were there. Nathan and Gabe Combs now function as Multitone Musik.

Christmas is an album they released in 2002, and I’ve listened to it twice this week. The band fits the description “Christian pop.” This album basically fits my “pretty” requirement, but the performances sound somewhat affected to my ear, even though the songs are well produced.

I’ll comment on just one song:  “A Prayer for Every Year” is the best cut of the album. Stronger voices, well done! Others have performed this song as “My Grown-up Christmas Wish.” You can hear Bryan Duncan’s version on his Christmas Is Jesus album, which I reviewed here.

I’m the wrong audience for this one. I rate it 2.
