This is easily one of my all time favorite Christmas Hymns. I recorded this a couple of years ago in an acoustic version. Hope you enjoy it. I don't recall much about the band. I do remember that I'm playing some of the guitar and all of the mandolin on this. BTW: I submitted this in an edited version ( no drums or steel, and edited for length ) to a radio show on our local Raleigh country station....WQDR. The show is totally Bluegrass, (The Pinecone Bluegrass Show) hence the edits.... and the host of the show took it and spun it for all to hear. https://www.947qdr.com/shows/pinecone-bluegrass-show/ Unfortunately, I didn't get to hear it. And the show that followed it also played one of my country Christmas tunes.... The Best Christmas.... look on my website at the bottom of the list.... Silent Night Merry Christmas and have a Happy and prosperous new year!!!

GH.
from an ex choirboy..
very very pretty production.
love the build up. and how you bring in the drums mate.
all i could think of listening was how great a church choir would be//sound picture behind the lead vocs...or maybe an interplay tween lead vocs n' the church choir.
kudos n' merry xmas.

Hi Herb
This is really a great Silent Night version
I like it very much
Especially because it is played in a very varied way
The guitar/mandolin solos are very nice
Sounds all excellent
Thanks for sharing
You also have a great Christmas and a healthy new year
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Man, this is really nice Herb. The intro is pretty long, so at first I thought it was going to be an instrumental, but gosh you did a really good job on the vocal - particularly with such a difficult song to sing (for me at last). I've always loved this song, but it is very difficult for me to sing. I loved the instrumentation in this as well. Great job with that mando. Merry Christmas!
Brad

This is an outstanding bluegrass version of Silent Night.
Nice chops on the guitar and mandolin.
Super vocal and mix.
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and will have a very Happy New Year.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Like Brad, I thought this was going to be an instrumental, but then you started singing at 1:35. Really a great job on this, I enjoyed it a lot. I wanted to listen to the other Christmas song you mentioned but herbhartley.com isn't working. Thought you might want to know. Happy holidays!

THanks again to the folks who have listened and commented...
That's weird..... My website is actually up and running.... I accessed it from my phone using the android OS and chrome, and I got into it from Explorer on my computer.... however, it does appear to be not working using Firefox OS on the same machine.... must be something on their end. Try using a different browser.

Even though it's a Christmas song, I like it. You interpreted this song very differently and it works very well.
Well done!

The link doesn't work for me no matter what, but I just typed in herbhartley.com and it worked fine. I should've tried that the first time around, doh.

What a terrific version of my favorite Christmas song, Herb. Love that mando, man!! And a wonderful choir of carolers. This is so good. Damn that a capella ending is outstanding.

W-O-W. Fabulous. One of my favourite versions of "Silent Night", already. I must hear it again, but wow. Hats off. You manage to keep our attention in this well-known carol by changes in orchestration, etc. ... and the singing is fantastic, the feeling behind the notes and words shines through. What am I to say, except "wow"? :-) Sincerest congratulations, this is genuinely superb.
