Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals
Bio / Background
Faith based acoustic guitar instrumental versions of favorite Christmas carols celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Chip Mergott is a recording artist described by Bonnie Raitt as "one of my favorite songwriters." "Silent Night" is the follow up to his instrumental CD "Hymns for Acoustic Guitar" which is one of the most popular releases in the Notebook Records catalogue.
Michael Hopkins of "The Scene" writes:
If you're looking to add a new CD to your collection of seasonal music, Chip Mergott's Silent Night, Christmas Carols for Acoustic Guitar is a perfect pick. The fourteen instrumentals were produced, arranged, and played by Mergott, a New Jersey musician who has his finger in many fok and rock oriented projects, including several with his wife, Annie Bauerlein, who is also a singer-songwriter of noteworthy fame on the East Coast. This is one of those CDs that you can put on repeat and let play over and over without ever tiring of what you hear.
↓ more ↓Many of the classic Christmas carols are present, including "Joy To The World," "Silent Night," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and "O Holy Night." Mergott overdubs guitar parts to balance melody and rhythm and creates a very sublime aural environment. All the songs are spaciously arranged with some judiciously placed complexity that ultimately delivers gentle textures that carry a lot of glowing power without being fast or loud. Mergott's playing comes from a place where he has obviously internalized the meaning and symbology of each song so that a sincere message flows from his heart, with the musical voice of his guitars redeclaring the true reason for the season. He does all this without a trace of pretension or preachiness. Silent Night will give you a familiar feeling as real as the smell of pine, the sound of bells, the laughter of family and friends, the sight of ornately wrapped presents, the taste of hot chocolate or the warmth of a fire, providing a cozy refuge from freshly falling snow. And if for some reason all those sensations leave you feeling empty... "Charlie Brown, let me tell you the real meaning of Christmas..."
