Last year I agreed with most of the reviews that "Heavenly Peace" was a weak selection. A year later, however, upon repeated listenings, I have come to appreciate this song very much. The melody does not have an immediate hook but, like a lot of songs I have grown to admire, it has begun to affect me in a very positive way. I urge Johnny's fans to give this song another chance, especially the coda that blends with the last words of "Silent Night."As for the rest of the album, it too, like good wine, gets better with age. For example, Johnny almost makes me forget Burl Ives with his treatment of "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Snowfall" gives me chills with its gorgeous evoking of an afternoon gazing out the window at falling snow.If you're a Mathis fan you owe it to yourself to give this CD repeated listenings. It's a worthy member of the Mathis Christmas music family.
