- An Album Review by Jenny Cat
Les Fradkin - Say You Love Me For Christmas 2:47 – If
you were seeking a song cut in the vein of Darlene
Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" then
you've found it here with Les Fradkin. He expertly
creates the wall of sound vibe from famed producer, Phil
Spector. This is a huge sing-a-long ear-worm that will be
on the tip of everyone's tongue this season. Bravo!
Walter Rossi – Jingle Jangle 4:54 – This one made me
think of the later tune stylings of the Doobie Brothers
circa Michael McDonald. Walter Rossi has a keen voice
that adds a pure rock dimension to this song.
Furthermore, there's a killer guitar line throughout and as
always, I'm a big fan of that. LISTEN TO THIS
ALREADY, WOULD YA?
The Forty Nineteens – Frosty The Snowman 2:38 Who doesn't love this song? Come on. You'd have to
be Scrooge himself to not like a rolicking version of
Frosty The Snowman. The Forty Nineteens give us
just that; a rolicking good time on an old holiday
classic. Show this one to your kids or even your cats
as it will make them dance. BUY THIS ALBUM.
Peter Unger – Christmas Cards 2:32 - I guess Peter
Unger is what Bob Denver's son would sound like if
he had James Taylor for a songwriting/guitar mentor!
What a pure sound! Effortlessly, Peter Unger's voice
elicits tears and nostalgia of the Christmas nights we
almost forgot. Great, soulful track. A must own.
