“…Christmas Music is Back.
by Larry Katz for The Boston Herald
OK, it never really went away. As inevitable as an Amy Winehouse meltdown, every fall a blizzard of Christmas CDs arrive. This I know all too well, because every fall I wade through a hundred or so of these
seasonal offerings in search of holiday goodies.
But last year’s search for worthy Christmas sounds ended in utter frustration. 2006 rated as absolutely the worst year for Yule music ever – or at least since the dawn of the compact disc.
So I bring glad tidings. Christmas music roars back in 2007 with a sleighful of worthy releases to lively up your December.
Best original songs: Chris Trapper, ’It’s Christmas Time.’ This isnt merely the best by a Boston singer/songwriter, its the year’s best set of new Christmas tunes, period. Simple arrangements and
instrumentation (featuring banjo, ukulele, lap steel and the like) accentuate Push Star Trapper’s charm and sincerity as he captures real–life holiday feelings.
