John Berry:  

Christmas CD, O Holy Night Live, formerly titled Christmas Live. That CD has been snapped up by fans, as well, creating the need for a fifth pressing. During the summer of 2003, John hit the road with friends David Lee Murphy and Lee Roy Parnell on the Paintin’ the Town Tour. While on the tour, John and David Lee wrote the new romantic single “Will You Marry Me?,” which receivied high praise. Music critic Robert K. Oermann says John has “still got the goods. There's something special about saying something in a song for people who might not be able to express themselves in such a nakedly emotional way.” John hit the road that spring for what proved to be an amazing tour, appropriately named the Love Tour, in support of his CD of classic love songs, I Give My Heart. “I wanted this to be a very romantic CD, all "We are in love" songs,” says John. “No ‘I love you, I wish you still loved me’ [songs] to spoil that ‘naked in front of the fireplace moment’ that I hope everyone has – listening to this CD, of course!” The new album includes the hit “Will You Marry Me” as well as “Since the Day that I Met You” (written by John), a re-recording of “Your Love Amazes Me,” and covers of Kenny Rogers’ “Lady,” Boz Scaggs’ "Love Look What You've Done to Me," and Jim Croce’s “Time In a Bottle”. John continues, “One of my favorite albums of all time is Stardust by Willie Nelson. I have always wanted to do a similar type of recording, but do a collection of songs from my generation.”
