Music reviews of Not So Silent Night
Music Review: It's An REO Speedwagon Christmas, FINALLY!!
Rating: 5 Stars
WOW! That is the 1st word that comes to mind when I first hit play on REO Speedwagon's New CD "Not So Silent Night". Lead Singer Kevin Cronin's vocals are crystal clear and continually proves that he can sing with the best of them. If you are an REO Speedwagon Fan, then this CD needs to be in your collection. If you are a Christmas Music Fan, then this CD needs to be in your collection. The cd starts right out with a short but sweet version of "The First Noel". Then, in REO style, the CD kicks in with a rockin' version of "Winter Wonderland". Then, one of the jewels of the cd, is "Silent Night". When you first start listening to that song, you know you are listening to an REO Speedwagon CD. It has that familiar REO sound, even though it is a Christmas Song/CD, REO Speedwagon made the cd their own, REO style. Another hidden jem is "Blue Christmas", a song you wouldn't expect from REO. Cronin hands the mic over to REO's Bassist Bruce Hall, and he does a country version of the classic, more in the style of Elvis, deep vocals, and a nice steel guitar sound. It is really relaxing and easy to listen to. REO also does their rendition of John and Yoko Lennon's "Happy Xmas(War Is Over) and what a rendition it is. They aren't taken anything away from the Lennon classic, as it is a tribute to Lennon and and in the Christmas spirit, all proceeds from that song are going to the John Lennon Foundation. REO also does the classics "Little Drummer Boy" where drummer Bryan Hitt shows off his drumming style as Lead Guitarist Dave Amato gets to show off his chops. Keyboardist Neal Doughty has several leads and solos showing off his new grand piano. There are also some not-so-traditional songs like,"God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen", "The White Snows of Winter", "Angels We Have Heard on High(Gloria)", "I'll Be Home For Christmas" with the two latter sounding like classic REO Speedwagon power ballads. "Children Go Where I Send Thee", "Deck The Halls", show that REO can still rock out even though it is a Christmas CD, and they close the cd with a fitting rendition of "Joy To The World". Overall, this CD gets 5 Stars for proving that classic rock artists from the 1970's and 1980's can still produce high quality material. You can tell that this cd was not "rushed" to get it done. REO took their time because they are putting their stamp on it and they are well known for working on songs until they are just right, they do not say "Oh, That is Good Enough". No, they get the songs done. This cd is proof of that, the songs are polished and rich and luxorious. This CD should be in any collection not matter what genre!
