CD ReviewsWhat Kind Of Music? John P Bernat | Kingsport, TN USA | 12/09/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "My sister and I were discussing this CD and could not determine what kind of music Brian Setzer has made this season brighter with...
Is it rockabilly? Big band? What? The lyrics in this Christmas special argue that it's a form popularized in the mid-to-late 50s. It represents a transition into the rock and roll classic era, no question, but so many of those artists had by then abandoned the big band sound. Anyway, it would not be Christmas without the leering allusions of this funny, lively album. The production value is pure Cinerama, and you won't be bored with the adaptations. The only cut I had a too-hard time with was the Nutcracker variations; somehow they reminded me too much of the Spike Jones version which, by comparison, sounded better. "Tis the season."" |
