Christmas album
 $8.49   
A Southern rock Christmas album? Hey, it makes as much sense as Run-DMC's "Christmas in Hollis," and the good news is that the Lynyrd Skynyrd boys--along with special guests the Charlie Daniels Band and .38 Special--truly get into the spirit with a nice mix of seasonal standards (rock and otherwise) and originals. Among the latter, the Daniels Band provides a frankly terrifying "Devil Went Down to Georgia"-derived take on "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," while Skynyrd crunch through Chuck Berry's "Run, Rudolph Run" with Stones-like aplomb.
On the originals front, .38 Special score big with "Mama's Song," a Southern rock power pop hybrid in their best '80s style, although it must be said that these self-proclaimed wild-eyed Southern boys have a sentimental streak a mile wide (and when their song is followed by Skynyrd's near-obscene "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'," it's a tad disconcertin'...). In any case, the album concludes, nicely, with a little harmonizing by the entire Skynyrd family (kids, relatives, road crew, dogs, etc). Fun stuff.
Additional personnel includes: Charlie Daniels (vocals, guitar); .38 Special.

| | Allman Brothers Band Live At Fillmore East CDs (1971) Hybrid; SACD Hybrid; Deluxe Edition
Christmas CD music
$20.35
Recorded live at the Fillmore East, New York, New York on March 12-13, 1971. Originally released on Capricorn.
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The original Fillmore East album is one of the finest live documents of the rock era, capturing the original line-up of one of the '70s' tightest outfits before they were cruelly robbed of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Taken from five 1971 performances at New York's fabled Fillmore East, the extended and effortlessly melodic workouts of "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post" still have the power to rivet and move.
On display here is the Allmans' fabled chemistry at its finest. The band not only rocks, it rolls, swings, and stretches out in exploratory, jazzy passages. The dual guitar interplay of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts glides effortlessly over the propulsive rhythm section of Oakley and twin drummers Jaimoe and Butch Trucks, while Greg Allman's powerful blues voice and melodic keyboard work provides the icing on the cake. Though the later-released THE FILLMORE CONCERTS presents these songs in their original entirety, AT FILLMORE EAST, with its seamless edits of multiple performances, may be the superior recording. It highlights all the glint and sparkle of what still ranks among the best jamming committed to record.

The set list features the usual suspects (their hopped-up cover of Skip James's "I'm So Glad" and the canonic riff-ology of "Sunshine of Your Love," among others), with some expected space left for the musicians to stretch out. The band still sounds powerful, if not as wild and searching as they did in the '60s (guitarist Eric Clapton, in particular, sounds a bit reserved). ROYAL ALBERT HALL would not be the place for the Cream novice to start (DISRAELI GEARS or BBC SESSIONS would be a better bet), but the group does manage to recapture some of their former magic, which is impressive considering their age (they're all in their 60s) and all the water that's passed under the bridge since their heyday.
The turn of the millennium seemed to be the age of reunions, and Cream's re-teaming for a series of shows (the specifics can be found in the album's rather ineloquent title: ROYAL ALBERT HALL: LONDON 2-3-5-6 2005) kept pace with that trend. Although nearly 40 years had elapsed since the legendary power trio first called it quits, there is still a fair bit of the serious chemistry, technical wizardry, and swirling energy that made Cream's music so vital in the 1960s.
Cream: Eric Clapton (vocals, guitar); Ginger Baker (vocals, drums); Jack Bruce (bass guitar).

Christmas songs
 $8.29
The adult-contemporary band Toto--initially comprised of Steve Porcaro, Jeff Porcaro, David Paich, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, Robert Toteaux, and David Hungate--hit the stratosphere with its 1982 Grammy Award winner for best album, TOTO IV. This effort (the group's best-known work) spawned the multi-platinum singles "Rosanna" and "Africa," but the band had already released several critically championed albums by that point: 1978's TOTO (with the best selling-single "Hold the Line"), 1979's HYDRA, and 1981's TURN BACK--all of which sported anthems that became iconic benchmarks of early '80s soft rock. The group continued to tour over the following decades, despite a series of slight critical disappointments and the death of one of its key members, Jeff Porcaro. Toto experienced a striking renaissance on Valentine's Day 2006, however, with the issue of the critically championed FALLING IN BETWEEN. TOTO: GREATEST HITS LIVE AND MORE compiles footage from the band performing live in concert over the years at concert halls, arenas, and stadiums--Toto's most successful venue. Numbers include: "Rosanna," "Africa," "I Won't Hold You Back," "English Eyes," "Afraid to Love," "I'll Be Over You," "Little Wing," and more.
| | Marillion Happiness Is The Road: Essence Vol. 1 CD (2008)
Christmas album
$10.05
The band that ushered in the British neo-prog wave in the 1980s, Marillion has proved itself to be a true survivor. Still going strong in 2008, the band is as ambitious as ever, releasing their latest batch of tunes, HAPPINESS IS THE ROAD, as two separate volumes. Where its sister album, THE HARD SHOULDER, is a more visceral, rocking effort, the first volume, ESSENCE, is a lush, atmospheric affair, somewhat reminiscent of latter-day (post-Roger Waters) Pink Floyd, but with a more contemporary flavor that neatly dodges retro cliches.
Marillion's 15th album is actually double album split into two separate CDs. 'Happiness is the Road Volume One' is subtitled 'Essence' and contains all new material from one of the most loved and passionate bands in the world. A new creative streak of writing and producing music was captured in the studio and fans will not be disappointed. Pushing the boundaries of what a 'typical' Marillion CD is supposed to sound like as well as keeping the magic that makes them Marillion. Amazing. Volume Two of 'Happiness is the Road', 'The Hard Shoulder,' will be released on the same day as well!
Audio Mixer: Michael Hunter.
Marillion: Steve Hogarth (vocals, piano, kurzweil, glockenspiel, percussion, background vocals); Steve Rothery (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, baritone guitar, background vocals); Pete Trewavas (electric guitar, bass guitar, background vocals); Mark Kelly (piano, harmonium, keyboards, background vocals); Ian Mosley (drum, background vocals).
Personnel: Michael Hunter (recorder).
Additional personnel: S. Audley (dulcimer); S. Claydon (arco bass); Dawn Roberts (finger cymbals); Jon Hotten (tambourine); P. Bisset (percussion); Emil H.
