About the Song
Ah, Christmastime. A time for family, for gathering around the warm glow of the tree, and for listening to those familiar carols that have filled our hearts with joy for generations. Today, we’re going to revisit a classic – The First Noel, performed by the one and only Toby Keith.
Now, some of you might know Toby Keith for his country hits, songs that often celebrate small-town life, hard work, and American pride. But Toby Keith, like many country artists, has a deep appreciation for tradition, and that includes Christmas music. Back in 2007, he released a festive album called A Classic Christmas, where he put his own spin on some of our most beloved carols.
The First Noel is a carol that stretches way back, with origins possibly dating as far back as the 15th century. It tells the story of the first Christmas, of the angels appearing to the shepherds and proclaiming the birth of Jesus. It’s a song filled with a sense of wonder and awe, a beautiful reminder of the simple yet profound message of the holiday season.
So, if you’re looking for a familiar tune with a touch of country charm, then settle in, grab a cup of hot cocoa, and let’s listen to Toby Keith’s rendition of The First Noel. It’s sure to bring back warm memories and put you right in the Christmas spirit.
