I had only heard "Simple Gifts" in its instrumental version. I was taken aback by the lovely lyriced version I heard on the Hugh Hewitt show. Intrigued, I investigated and found out that it was by the Armstrong family. I listened to the whole album. Enthralled, I purchased. I find their slightly un-tuned performances charming. Here are the ones that mention our Lord, for Christmas:
"Simple Gifts" is the podcast.
"Lullay, the Son of Mary"
O.-L. Vrouwekathedraal 1577 Antwerp
"Corpus Christi Carol"
"This Old World"
