Moments Worth Listening For

The way Marx's signature gravelly tone adds a layer of lived-in soul to the climax of O Holy Night

The rhythmic, military-style percussion build-up during the guest-heavy Little Drummer Boy

The intimate, stripped-back piano opening of Silent Night that highlights the vulnerability in his voice
