Go Tell It On the Mountain (4K+C)
My tenth track for "Invalid Item"  is from Australian brothers For King and Country and their holiday album A Drummer Boy Christmas..
I like the way Joel and Luke Smallbone bring in their wives to sing with them on some of their work. It's something not many pop artists do.
When I went to pull up the YouTube video for this entry, I found 4K+C released a new version of it this year... Featuring country singer Gabby Barrett  I'm impressed with her song The Good Ones, but I don't think much of her as an artist for the same reasons I don't like country music generally (a long story...) I'll stick with the original version.
One of the reasons I like 4K+C is their calm, harmonious voices. This quiet harmony is exemplified on both Go Tell It On the Mountain and my next track choice, their Joy to the World.
This carol generally is one I wasn't familiar with growing up, but as I encountered it more recently I was drawn to the melody. Being fussy, I'm pretty sure this is the only rendition of it I like, however. 4K+C have emphasized what makes it special without letting it become repetitive or monotonous.
Which for some reason reminds me, I never did find a version I like of "do you hear what I hear." I tend to lump these two songs together because I never heard of either of them until a few years ago. I like the lyrics to "do you hear what I hear," with the talking animals visiting the king, and the melody is good, but I haven't had time to look into finding a good one. Maybe next year when we do this, I'll have found one for us.
In the meantime, enjoy Go Tell It On the Mountain  .
