Faith was the second, and now one of many Christmas/Holiday albums recorded by Kenny G. There are 12 songs in all on the album with a mix of classic traditional songs like The First Noel and Ave Maria, and classic songs like The Christmas Song, Let it Snow, Sleigh Ride, Oh Christmas Tree, and the like. The album also includes a Chanukah song called Eternal Light. Probably the highlight of the album is the Millennium Mix of Alud Lang Syne, in which audio clips from throughout history up through the major events of 1999 are played throughout the song.
Whether you like this album really depends on, A) whether you like Christmas music and B) whether you can handle instrumentals with no vocals. Of course, Kenny G. is well known for playing Jazz on a tenor saxophone, however, the arrangements of the songs are very traditional. If you love Christmas songs, especially traditional arrangements (as opposed to what some pop acts/singers who put out Christmas albums do with the songs), then this is definitely worth listening to.
