It is rare that I listen to a new cd for the first time and immediately love every single song. But that was the case with Josh Rosenthal’s new album that releases tomorrow called “Narratives: A Christmas Album.” Its even MORE RARE that I actually enjoy every song on a Christmas album.
From the second I took the plastic off and felt the matte finished cardboard cover until I finished the last song, Josh’s music is as refreshing as it gets. It’s evident he puts his heart and soul into writing his music and we’re treated to a beautifully honest album.
Narratives opens with Josh’s own version of a classic, “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” one of my favorite Christmas tunes. Second “This Changes Everything” has the feel of a Christmas classic and is a reminder of what Christmas is really about, the birth of Christ! Definitely my favorite track on the album.
Third is a Steve Weisberg song “Christmas for Cowboys.” Good harmonica on this one. Too bad its about Cowboys. 
Second to last is another tune by Rosenthal and Wilson titled “Before I Go.” It doesn’t sound like much of a Christmas Song, but if you have been a fan of Rosenthal’s you’ll love it anyway. And last is Lyle Lovett’s “Christmas Morning.” I’ll be popping that one in on Christmas morning as my family celebrates.
The ONLY thing I’m not so sure about with this album is why Josh looks like a 40 year old man in his picture on the back. He’s younger than me and yet that picture makes me want to call him up and ask him how the grandkids are…
