"Light In The Sky" presents some of the absolute best in recorded Christmas musi
author: Tom Boyd of Dry Branch Fire Squad
                            
Rick has achieved near perfection in studio production, material selection and arrangement, and certainly vocal and instrumental performance...the entire album left Sharon and me with impressions of peace, joy and celebration, the true meaning of Christmas.

Another great Rick Pickren album! A must for all holiday collections. Fresh renditions of old favorites along with wonderful originals! My favorite is The Master's Hands.

Pickren's faithful rendition shines in its simplicity
author: Carol Swanson
                            
Light in the Sky presents subdued, contemplative music that moves the listener in warm and wonderful ways.  Pickren's slightly rough, but exquisitely rich, voice is exactly the right instrument to provide a minimalist, traditional American folk presentation of seven holiday favorites and three Pickren originals.  The Master's Hands spoke directly to me, graphically describing the comforts that faith can provide.
