Music reviews of It's Christmas, Man!
Music Review: Very fun christmas record for the secret polka fan in us all
Rating: 4 Stars
I had already owned a few BC CD titles when I heard about this 3 or 4 years ago. I immediately went to the Rounder records website and ordered 1 for me and 3 for my sisters. Having polka and traditional "Hunky" music played in our house growing up, there is something about it that just makes you want to move. Their version of "Must Be Santa" needs to be on repeat play for half an hour it is just so much fun at Christmas time. Arguably the best song on this CD. If you know anything of BC's music and other releases, you know that their style is all over the map with Polkas, Cha-Chas, Waltzes, and Reggae with touches of other musical forms thrown in the mix to make it interseting. Same thing here. What you get are 15 very different tunes that just make the holiday that much more fun. Not every song is a winner but the album as a whole does not disappoint. Much better than any Mannheim Steamroller release. I like Hard Rock and this works for me.
Description of It's Christmas, Man!
We're not kidding - here's a whole album of Brave Combo performing their uniquely mutated versions of your favorite and soon-to-be favorite holiday songs!This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
"Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" are not just empty sayings when Brave Combo are around. It's Christmas, Man! is a merry romp through traditional and not-so-traditional holiday fare. "O Christmas Tree" is done as a drum heavy samba, "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting) skanks in as a ska tune, and "The Little Drummer Boy" has obviously been hanging out in Cuba. There are polka, waltz, and cumbia versions of classic carols, and a Hanukkah hora (circle dance) as well. Brave Combo have penned five new tunes for this release which are sure to become seasonal favorites. This is a fun recording, featuring accordion, sax, clarinet, guitars, bass, drums, and vocals in a mostly lighthearted set of inspired silliness. The occasional serious song like "Ave Maria" is treated with the respect it deserves, without being allowed to bog down in maudlin sappiness. The 15 songs on this CD make it a generous gift of spirited music. --Jeff Grubb
