Charlie Daniels is sure-enuff the genuine article, an artist unfraid of taking a high-minded stance and doing things his way. That said, what you'd expect from CDB's Christmas CD is delivered. And that's just fine by me.
Charlie is down-home, but don't classify him too tightly. Remember, he played on The Beatles White Album and has a list of accomplishments stretching through the decades. Nobody can pull that off without tons o' talent.
Charlie and Co. blend holiday standards and newer stuff, all with his trademark sound.
I love Christmas music and have hundreds of releases, so I'm pretty critical about half-baked efforts. This is one of my very favorite Christmas CDs from 2002. It'll be an annual joy to slide this in the CD changer and get into the holiday mood every year.
My Mother and I happened upon this music while listening to Pandora this holiday season. We couldn't find the songs on iTunes so we were grateful to find the CD here on Amazon. This is some of the loveliest Christmas music I've ever heard.
