Nashville, TN -- (December 17, 2008) -- As recently reported, BarlowGirl has delivered the "must-have Christmas album" of the year with Home For Christmas (Fervent). With stellar reviews stating BarlowGirl's first holiday project as "timeless," "beautiful" and "classic," raving comments are continuing to pour in, most recently from USA Today as well as New York Times.

"...this Christian trio focuses on their harmonies with...delightful results." - USA Today

"...the sisters Barlow are crisp, especially on the stunning "Carol of the Bells/Sing We Now of Christmas" and a sharp version of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel."- New York Times

Home For Christmas' singles are hitting high marks as well. "Carol of the Bells" is quickly becoming the most popular digital song of the season, claiming over 24,840 downloads since the project released in September, with 7,340 downloads this week alone. "Carol of the Bells" reached #18 on the Holiday Songs Chart at iTunes and is currently #4 on the Christian/Gospel Digital Tracks charts.
