The bassline makes me think of Radar Love and the lyrics are fun and wild. I dig this one a lot (even if there's a mouth harp solo instead of a g uitar solo – I really like guitar solos). Don't hate me for liking guitar solos! Anyway, you too can have a Rockin Christmas, but you have to buy this album to do that. I promise you won't regret it. Wayne Olivieri & DJ Chris ibe – I Love Christmas Time (Radio Mix) 4:02 - What a wild mix of digital wizardry and acoustic guitars/bells! WHOA. This is a trippy Christmas dance tune for sure. I suggest getting granny too much eggnog and then popping this bad boy on the stereo and then video her dance for a later youtube upload. DO IT. Buy this album first or at least download this pumping dance track for your next holiday hook up. Bob Shaw- I Wonder Where You Are This Christmas 2:32 - How many times have you wondered where someone you miss has gone for Christmas? I swear to Santa that Bob Shaw sounds a lot like Axle Rose of Guns-N-Roses. Am I crazy? You listen and YOU tell me. This is a tear jerker for sure so be warned. "I wonder, do you ever think of me?" Yes. I do think of you, Santa so I am asking you to get me this album for Christmas. Dennis Sy – Christmas Morning 4:11 - This song is fresh. The arrangement is clear and soulful. Easily a favorite and a classic ready to happen to a Christmas near you. The R&B stylings of this track really add a dynamic variety to this album. Bongo Boy Records is never short of variety and this track is a great example of great writing, strong arranging and balanced performance. Bravo. Why isn't this album in your stocking yet? Deborah Henriksson – The Angel Gabriel 2:05 - WOW. A goosebump maker. This song is beautifully performed by Deborah Henriksson. Everything is perfect. I can't even suggest a guitar Steel Notes Magazine www.steelnotesmagazine.com 51
