Sleeping At Last - "What Child Is This" (2005)

Sleeping At Last is a cool indie band from Chicago. They broke onto the scene in 2003 with their major label debut Ghosts. The album is full of great atmospheric rock accompanied by the stellar voice of singer Ryan O’Neal. The band has since parted ways with Interscope Records and they released their third album Keep No Score in 2006. In late 2005 they released the Ghosts of Christmas Past EP which featured two b-sides from the Ghosts sessions as well as two Christmas songs. Along with “O Holy Night” there is also today’s song, an excellent version of “What Child Is This.” This has always been one of my favorite Christmas hymns. The melody is timeless and the lyrics are outstanding, reminding us that Jesus is the reason for Christmas.
