Nashville take notice: This is a singular performance by Western New York’s home grown musical genius, Bill Ward, whose pure baritone and guitar driven music is uplifted by a chorus of Doerfuls in voice and musical harmony.  This is not your average album of Christmas songs; rather it is an extraordinary exploration of faith through Ward’s lyrics and passion. Ward’s always intriguing baritone is here hauntingly beautiful in places and particularly resonant with depth of feeling.  Wincingly honest, daring to accost arguments about wise men and the holy birth, the lyrics illustrate a mind that embraces both reason and faith.  The Christmas Sessions offers listeners a profoundly honest Christian journey through song and music. This is an album that is clearly a product of a redemptive spirit, and the music will delight fans of cross genre—blue grass, folk, country, and progressive. There is more than a whisper of Grace here.
