Critically acclaimed singer\u002Fsongwriter Sara Groves recently partnered with Hope Shows, an organization that puts on free Christian concerts in prisons, and performed a Christmas show for the women at Lincoln Correctional Center in Lincoln, IL. In the spirit of giving, Groves is offering a free recording of the show on noisetrade.com with the option of donating to Hope Shows. Both live albums and Christmas albums can be tricky. The former often lacks the polish and clarity of a studio recording, and the latter can end up as a rehash of songs listeners have heard ad nauseam. However, Groves avoids both these pitfalls with O Holy Night Tour: Live The Prison Show, a warm, intimate recording worthy of repeat listens. Groves begins the show with You Are the Sun, a song from her 2005 release, Add to the Beauty. From the opening notes, it is clear Groves is in her element, and this live version rivals the original. The song is followed by Maybe There's a Loving God, an older song from her 2002 release
