Synopsis

Album Description
Fingerstyle guitarist Doug Smith turns his arranging skills on Holiday favorites with Christmas Guitar. A playful blend of classical "Jesu Joy" by Bach and traditional "Deck the Halls"intertwined with a frolicking version of "Winter Wonderland" and followed by a very "danceable" version of "Christmas in Killarney". All this makes for a collection destined to be a Holiday classic.

CD Reviews

A FUNKY CHRISTMAS SHOWTIME
Goodbye | Rural England | 12/22/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A wonderous scamper along the fault lines of the christmas festive sound. A truly wicked exploration of every tiny christmas tinkle and shiver."
Sublime Christmas Guitar
Diana | Charleston, SC | 12/18/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is sure to become your all-time favorite Christmas Album! Doug Smith is a virtuoso, playing with precision, elegance and romantic soul. Few people have ever so completly mastered their instrument. This delightful selection of tunes is perfectly interpreted yet retains a playful exuberence that leaves the listener aching for more. If you want the best, look no further. This is absolutely it!"
Great Fingerstyle Guitar
Music Man | Mukilteo, Washington USA | 11/14/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Doug Smith is in my opinion one of the premiere guitarists. The music on this cd is not just a rehash of Christmas songs you have heard before. Doug has taken each song and transformed it into his own. When you listen to the music and close your eyes you feel both the major additions and the subtle nuances that are included in the songs and you will get the sense that he does not play music just for the money, but truly loves to play guitar. He becomes one with his guitar and the feelings are expressed through his music. The only thing missing for this (and his other cds) is that you do not get to see him perform. This cd will be a great addition to your Christmas collection. If you have yet to experience his other cds I highly recommend you do. You will not be disappointed."
