CD Reviews

Il est ne!

Nick O'Time | 12/14/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you liked the first 2 albums in the "New England Christmastide" series, then you'll want to get this album. It is the third entry by the New England Christmastide Musicians, a collaboration of gifted artists from (where else?) the New England area, who got together and recorded these wonderful albums in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Using a variety of folk instruments such as the flute, banjo, and harmonica, they perform many well-known Christmas carols and even a few obscure folk ones. My favorite one on this album is "Oh Holy Night" with its haunting banjo chords and soothing flute melody. "New England Yuletide" may have taken 16 years to arrive after its predecessor ("New England Christmastide 2" in 1987), but it was well worth the wait. Yule love this album!"

"This is an enjoyable CD, though it has some tracks that are on the NE Christmastide CD. I prefer the Christmastide to this one."
