Purchase Christmas Celebration CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Sarah McLachlan Wintersong CD (2006)
Christmas Celebration
 $9.25   
Personnel: Sarah McLachlan (vocals); Diana Krall.
Sarah McLachlan's WINTERSONG is a holiday album, yet it eschews the sprightly, sparkly feel of most seasonal releases. Instead, McLachlan sticks to the moody, adult contemporary folk sound for which she's known, bringing a reflective, occasionally melancholy atmosphere to a range of popular and traditional Christmas favorites. McLachlan's choice of covers is especially enjoyable; between her personal takes on "Greensleeves" and "Silent Night," she wedges emotive readings of songs by Gordon Lightfoot ("Song for a Winter's Night"), John Lennon ("Happy X-Man (War is Over)"), and Joni Mitchell ("River"). The blend of acoustic guitar, swelling synths, and the singer's wistful voice make WINTERSONG an appealing alternative to the usual holiday fare.
Because no artist's career is truly complete without a holiday album, Sarah McLachlan took yet ...
| | How The Grinch Stole Christmas CD (2000) Original Soundtrack
Christmas Celebration
$10.45 
Original score composed and conducted by James Horner.
The soundtrack to The Grinch, Ron Howard's live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic Christmas story The Night the Grinch Stole Christmas, features excerpts from James Horner's score and pop renditions of favorite Christmas songs. Though a more typically quirky composer like Danny Elfman would have been a more obvious choice to score an off-kilter fantasy like this, Horner's compositions manage to strike a good balance between edgy humor and sentimentality. Of the Christmas tunes, Ben Folds Five's "Lonely Christmas Eve," the eels' "Christmas Is Going to the Dogs," and Busta Rhymes and Jim Carrey's duet on "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" are the standout tracks, but songs by 'N Sync, Smash Mouth, the Barenaked Ladies, Faith Hill, and the Trans-Siberian ...
| | Dean Martin Christmas With Dino CD (2004)
Christmas Celebration
$16.39
Audio Mixer: Al Schmitt.
Recording information: Capitol Studios, Hollywood, CA.
Author: Dean Martin.
Arranger: Patrick Williams.
Between 1953 and 1966, Dean Martin recorded one Christmas single (1953's "The Christmas Blues") and two Christmas LPs, A Winter Romance (1959, Capitol Records) and The Dean Martin Christmas Album (1966, Reprise Records), the material consisting of a total of 23 recordings of 19 different songs. ("Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," "The Things We Did Last Summer," "Winter Wonderland," and "White Christmas" were each recorded for the two albums.) Christmas With Dino, the first Martin seasonal compilation to combine tracks originally issued by Capitol and Reprise, features 17 of those recordings. Although all 23 recordings could have fit on a single CD, compiler Frank Collura has made a judicious choice, omitting songs that had only a tangential connection to the holidays or that have not proven memorable ("The Things We ...

| | Wolves In The Throne Room Two Hunters CD (2007)
Christmas Celebration
$10.99
Putting a new spin on black metal, Wolves in the Throneroom reject the simple, sludgy, effects-laden heaviness that permeates the genre. On TWO HUNTERS, the Pacific Northwest band's second full length, the speed and heaviness of metal intertwine with an organic, almost ethereal quality that lurks underneath the throaty screams, thick percussion, and meandering epic melodies.
Virtually anyone who came into contact with Wolves in the Throne Room's 2005 long-player, Diadem of 12 Stars on Vendlus, fell in love with it, and for good reason. This Olympia, WA, underground black metal trio had its own take on the music; sure, it had blastbeats, screeching vocals, and furious riffs, but there is so much more to it than that. Oh yeah, no corpse paint, either (though an occasional hooded robe is worn in caves around campfires). For starters, their title track was 20 minutes long, and it changed constantly, layered through with heavy atmospherics, dark bewitching gloomy soundscapes that evoked the sound of the rain in the foggy forests of their hometown. The entire record -- even with its furious speeds alternating with funereal dirges, gorgeously paranoid ghostly keyboard passages, and a female vocal or two -- still had more than enough howling, buzzing guitars, and distorted crunch drums amid the blazing bass throb. Most importantly, so sophisticated was their approach to this rather bleak and primitive art form that they sounded as if they'd been recording together for decades. Two Hunters, the band's debut for Southern Lord, follows the same blueprint in some ways, but furthers it exponentially. Like its predecessor, there are only four cuts over 46 minutes, ranging from six minutes to just under 20. Wolves in the Throne Room are actually composers who understand how to assemble a suite of music that maximizes dynamics, tensions, moods, and textures without ever surrendering the flip-out unglued vibe that makes black metal so special.
Packaged in a gorgeous gatefold CD case, the disc starts innocently enough with the processional "Dea Artio," where the guitar and bass take a back seat to keyboards and drums, but it's nothing more than a long intro, as the following cut, "Vastness and Sorrow," attests. Pummeled drums and a single-note droning bassline usher in the wall-of-sound guitar riffs that also usher in the screaming vocals that are down enough in the mix to become another instrument. It starts fast and gets faster -- almost blurry -- without ever once tossing you into the dark or alienating you with simple metallic pyrotechnics or clichés. There is very little -- if any -- use of digital effects in this music's outrageously large wall of sound. It's played with passion as well as menace, with an ear toward the sad beauty at the end of the world, even as it celebrates it misanthropically. One can be forgiven -- at least initially -- for thinking that the northern Europeans hold sway over this music. True, it did ...
| | River City Slim & The Zydeco Hogs It's Hot In Here! CD (2009)
Christmas Celebration
$18.99
The fourth CD from New England's hottest Zydeco dance band is finally here! Collaborating once again with engineer extraordinaire Collin Tilton, The Zydeco Hogs deliver the goods. From the moment the opening track rolls out of your speakers, The Zydeco Hogs pump out some of the best high-energy Louisiana-style music to be heard outside of the Bayou State. Through it all, The Hogs conjure the feel of a sweaty Saturday night in a jam-packed dance hall. As Ed McKeon of the New Britain Herald said, "When The Zydeco Hogs play the air is filled with the spirit of Louisiana French music. You feel the ragged joy of Cajun two-steps and Zydeco blues. You can almost smell the garlic and the stewing oysters, the humidity rises a few points and suddenly this isn't Connecticut anymore." River City Slim & The Zydeco Hogs first came together in the cold New England winter of '98 - '99. The Hogs made a big splash at the eighth annual Folk Next Door concert at the University of Hartford in May of '99, and haven’t looked back since. The band has made appearances at music festivals up and ...
