Free Music Notes for A Skaggs Family Christmas
Free Music Review: Dissapointment, at least in my opinion...
Hit: 1 Stars
I bought this CD less than a week ago on Amazon, and I was hoping for a great bluegrass album, but that's not really what I heard. As I looked through the booklet, I noticed there's only one song with Jim Mills playing the banjo. I listened to the whole song, "Deck the Halls", and I waited and waited for a great solo by him, and it never came. Someone else reviewed and said that a Kentucky Thunder Christmas album was a good idea, which I agree with whole heartedly. I guess I don't know what I was thinking when I purchased this, as I am not a big fan of the Whites, which is pretty much all that this is, and I would have liked to hear more of a bluegrass rhythm in this album, and AT LEAST one solo by Jim Mills. If you disagree with me, then there are a lot of other reviews that put mine to shame, but for a truegrass bluegrass lover like me, I would suggest another bluegrass christmas album for you, called "Christmas on the Mountain: A Bluegrass Christmas". It's got everything a bluegrass lover wants. If Ricky Skaggs decides to make a volume 2, I hope it is more bluegrassy. Oh well, off to eBay...
A Skaggs Family Christmas Poster
When the Skaggs and the Whites got together in Ricky Skaggs's living room to play Christmas tunes, how could it not lead to an album? Both are steeped in America's bluegrass and country music traditions and there's nothing like Christmas to bring out the mandolins, guitars, piano, and distinctive vocals. Fans of both groups will admire the simple yet rich playing and singing. From Ricky's lyrical arrangement and bouncy vocal of "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" and Molly Skaggs's impossibly-young-sounding reading of "Christmas Time Is Here" to Cheryl White's more stark delivery of "Mary, Did You Know?" underscored by a mandola and warm string section, the 13-song disc offers a balanced set of pop standards and hymns, with a homily-like story from Buck White called "The Christmas Guest." But it's Buck's lived-in vocal and the families' spirited playing on "Hangin' Round the Mistletoe" that best characterizes what a friendly and fun Christmas gift this really is. --Martin KellerChristian & Gospel Music CDs
