Classic REO sound poured all over Christmas classics

"I am a fan of REO Speedwagon, but I was skeptical of a Christmas album from Kevin and Co. I would say they pulled it off, but of course they did.. we're talking about talented veterans and it's not like it's their first rodeo, if their first Christmas album. It's upbeat and and fun without being over-the-top, in your face Christmas cheer. A touch of rocking gospel thrown in made even me wanna do back flips. The very nature of the album doesn't make it a must have, but Christmas music fans (aren't we all though for at least a month or two every year?) and REO Speedwagon fans especially will enjoy. Merry listening!"

"So REO broke out with a Christmas CD? I was skeptical at first. Being a fan of early REO and not so much of the 80's REO, I wasn't sure what to expect. I took a chance and am I glad I did.REO has taken a handful of Chritmas tunes and rocks them. Any fan of REO will enjoy this collection of songs. The best part is the whole family will enjoy them. They rock out the songs but not to the point where anyone would think it's to much or not recognize them. This is a CD I recommend for the whole family to listen to while you decorate the tree. Merry Christmas."
Awesome stuff from an Awesome band!

"This truly has something for everyone and can I just say how "shocked" I was at the price?? What a bargain!!! Going to buy it for everyone on my Christmas list. My favorite songs are: Deck the Halls (to say it rocks is an understatement!), Silent Night (Power Ballad, REO style!), Children Go Where I Send Thee (unbelievable, never knew I liked that song!) and Blue Christmas (the band went COUNTRY!)"
