The King's Gift

Trace Adkins

A stark departure into Celtic folk and sacred carols. Deep baritone vocals meet uilleann pipes and acoustic arrangements for a somber, wintery atmosphere.

October 29, 2013 · Caliburn Records

A reverent and earthy winter stillness that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting entry of the uilleann pipes on The Wexford Carol setting a misty highland tone.
The rhythmic, military precision of the hand drums during Carol of the Drum beneath the heavy vocal.
The surprising vulnerability in the lower register during the bridge of O Come Emmanuel.
