Sweetness of Christmas4
Jesse Colin Young captures the sweetness of Christmas in his new "Songs of Christmas" CD. He starts with "White Christmas" given a light acoustic jazz treatment. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is set against a sparse acoustic guitar with Betsy Curtis & Vito Truglio's background vocals giving the track a full body sound. "Away in a Manger" makes you feel Jesse is sitting next to a child's bed helping to rock them to sleep on Christmas Eve. Young's loping strums on guitar give "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" a soft happy carefree feel. Young's voice on "Silent Night" is in as a good form as when he sang with the Youngbloods. My favorite track is one I was not familiar with, "Some Children See Him," "Some children see him bronzed & brown, the light of heaven to earth come down." Jesse gives nice energy & punch to "Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella." "O Come All Ye Faithful" has a sincere reverence in its delivery. Young gets a little loopy on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," particularly when he starts talking, sounding a bit like Dean Martin. A string section gives the most orchestral sound on "What Child Is This?" "O Little Town of Bethlehem" shines with simple guitar backing the beautiful melody. The CD concludes with "O Holy Night," a vocally demanding song that Young fills with angelic airiness. This is an excellent set of holiday standards done in the folk style and done well. Merry Christmas!

really enjoying this CD5
I saw Jesse Colin Young last spring at the Hollywood Theater in Portland
Oregon and saw that he has a Christmas CD.

I just want you to know that I'm really enjoying this CD. Thanks for
putting it out.
