Anyone that knows me, knows that next to metal, my favorite kind of music is Christmas music. I’m just a sucker for the holiday season. And while I’m mostly a purist when it comes to my Christmas Carols, (I prefer Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Elvis Presley and Gene Autrey) the right combination of guitar and a Yuletide melody can be a beautiful thing. Hoey goes off in some weird directions here and there, but his rendition of the First Noel makes this cd a must have for your holiday rotation. --Scott
