Jim Mcdonald

Pianist, composer, and producer Jim Brickman isn't about ruffling feathers, and his subtle, gentle, and melodic playing has an undeniable grace that isn't going to set off any nerves. His frequent collaborations with other artists in various pop and country genres lift his work out from under the new age umbrella a little, and that's what's collected here. Featured are songs with Lady Antebellum ("Never Alone"), Richie McDonald ("Coming Home for Christmas"), the last-known recording of Gerald Levert ("My Angel"), Sara Evans ("Never Alone"), Tom Douglas ("Love of My Life"), Marc Antoine ("Escape"), and Jake Simpson ("To Hear You Say You Love Me").
