REVIEW

. . . a spirited collection of holiday songs that hail from off the beaten path. These melodies cull from Celtic, African-American, and Appalachian traditions and are just as season-appropriate as the usual suspects. Fiddle, pennywhistle, bodhran, banjo, pump organ, hammered dulcimer, piano, guitar, and a plethora of harmonious vocals share time resulting in glorious and gorgeous melodies. If you want different music to make things festive, this is the compilation for you.
