Christmas music beautifully performed on acoustic guitars and mandolin.
Editorial review
These festive Christmas releases feature traditional carols performed on mandolin and acoustic guitar by John David. Volume I features such seasonal favorites as "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and "O Come All Ye Faithful." Highlights of Volume II include "What Child is This," "We Three Kings of Orient Are," and "Carol of the Bells." The CD format consists of all of Volume I plus 3 bonus tracks from Volume II. The CD booklet features fascinating background information about the origins of each carol. ~ MusD, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
From the stylish solo guitar arrangements, to the "wire choir" of layered guitars and mandolin playing in harmony, it's easy to see why this disc has received so much critical acclaim. If you have only one Christmas music cd in your collection, this should be it.
The Library Journal
"A rare treat...David makes even the most familiar carols seem fresh...almost too good to play only in December...best acoustic holiday album...Very informative liner notes...Highly recommended."
CD Review
