He is noted for incorporating the sound of soul,R&B,rock 'n' roll,jazz, and blues into the inspirational genre.[65]"God's funky too", he said in a 1980s interview, noting that he was keen on eliminating stereotyped opinions about inspirational music.[66]In a 1999 interview forBillboardmagazine, he reiterated this, saying, "If you're a football player and you become a Christian, you don't suddenly start playing Christian football."[36]Driscoll incorporated his bluesy, soulful jazz horn-playing and singing into Christmas music in his 2000 album,The Spirit of Christmas,which includes a jazz version of "O Little Town of Bethlehem"played on muted flugelhorn and sung in a slow improvisational jazz style.[67]
