As concept albums go, Where's Neil When You Need Him? is stranger than most. Neil Gaiman is not a musician; he's a comic-book author and screenwriter. Although this album is credited to him, he appears only as a commentator in the liner notes. The actual music is provided by 17 bands and solo artists, all of whom are fans of his work and each of whom were invited to write a song about one of his stories or characters. Thus references to Sandman, Coraline, wolves, goldfish, and mirrors abound, and the songs themselves vary across quite a wide spectrum of styles, from Tori Amos' voice-and-piano minimalism to Schandmaul's Teutonic folk-rock, and from Azam Ali's Middle Eastern exoticism to Thea Gilmore's sturdy roots rock. As you might expect, it's something of a mixed bag, quality wise: Rasputina impresses with their industrial/orchestral "Coraline," and Gilmore's "Even Gods Do" is another powerful contribution. Less impressive are the icky "Come Sweet Death" by Voltaire (note to Voltaire: you need to ignore people who tell you that death is either cool or romantic), and Amos' contribution, which is overwrought and self-involved even by her own considerable standards. But overall, the album offers a fascinating array of musical interpretations of the work of one of America's more interesting graphic artists. ~ Rick Anderson

Additional personnel includes: Mat Jardine, Adam Jardine (vocals).
Recorded between 1963 and 1977. Includes liner notes by Brad Elliott.
Originally released in 1964, this classic early Beach Boys album contains both traditional holiday songs like "White Christmas," "Blue Christmas," and "Frosty the Snowman," and Brian Wilson-penned originals like "Little Saint Nick," "Merry Christmas, Baby," and "Christmas Day," the latter of which is also Al Jardine's lead vocal debut. A rarity in that half the album is produced by Dick Reynolds, the regular arranger for primary Beach Boys influences the Four Freshmen, rather than Brian Wilson himself, the CHRISTMAS ALBUM also features a gorgeous a cappella version of "Auld Lang Syne," previously unreleased mixes, and contemporary interviews with both Brian and Dennis Wilson.
Since Phil Spector produced the classic A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR YOU, it's fitting that Brian Wilson would emulate his idol once again and release a superior Christmas album of his own. Like BEACH BOYS PARTY!, another "novelty" ...
