Music reviews of Christmas [IMPORT]

Music Review: Other Bruce Christmas Material
Rating: 5 Stars

Without a doubt this CD is my favorite Christmas album from any artist. Nothing else comes close. As the years go by I realize every December just how perfect this album is. A great mix of styles that never gets old. Even the packaging is great - the black and white pictures, red disc and album notes penned by Bruce, which is a rarity in itself. You can't go wrong picking this up. But if you love this cd as much as I do let's talk about some other Bruce Christmas songs that are out there on other Cockburn albums. 1. CRY OF A TINY BABE - a retelling of the Christmas story in typical Bruce style - when was the last time you heard about deathsquads in a Christmas song? This song appears on Bruce's 1991 album "Nothing But A Burning Light". 2. SHEPHERDS - the original 1976 version of the song that appears on his Christmas cd. A completely different melody - a beautiful long song with exquisite guitar work and a trumpet solo. Appears on the Rounder Records reissue of Bruce's '76 album "In The Falling Dark". 3. My personal favorite of all Bruce's Christmas songs: CHRISTMAS SONG - a beautiful, evocative acoustic song that perfectly captures a Christmas night - appeared on 1974's "Salt Sun And Time". **** For hardcore fans and completists Bruce appeared in a syndicated radio show program in the 90's for Columbia Records. "Christmas With Cockburn" was an hour long radio show that ran every year from 1991 - 1995. Along with special guests (like Lou Reed, Jackson Browne, Jonatha Brooke and Sam Phillips) Bruce played songs from his regular albums along with a few Christmas songs each year. Recordings do circulate among collectors. *** This extra dimension of Bruce has always been special to me at the end of every year.

Description of Christmas [IMPORT]

The Canadian singer/songwriter's first and only holiday album. 15 tracks.
Canadian Bruce Cockburn's understated musical and vocal strengths belie his more ardent political folk-pop in a career that never found a wider U.S. audience. Too bad, because Cockburn deftly mixes folk, rock, country, gospel, and international music without making it seem forced or found. On Christmas the singer takes artistic and poetic license to rearrange "Silent Night," "Adeste Fidelis," and other more reverent standards alongside "The Huron Carol," "Go Tell It on the Mountain," and "Mary Had a Baby," another beautiful gospel tune often overlooked by more mainstream singers. Cockburn's quiet intensity ignites most of these--and his liner notes are brief but poignant and informative. --Martin Keller
