Negative Positive
Title: More than meets the ear
Review: While an interesting mandolin treatment traditional seasonal favorites, the CD's title as it appears on the jacket is: "Snowed In With a Mandolin On CHRISTmas Day" and the only vocal is a reading of Luke 2:14's "peace, good will toward men" over "O Come, All Ye Faithful" rather than the proper lyrics. It might be noted that Luke 2:14 is much disputed - the preferred reading being "peace toward men of good will." Further notes from the CD's jacket: "Praise the Lord," "To Him who sits on the throne," "A special love and appreciation to my parents ... for their dedication to God...." You get the picture. If what you're interested in an acoustic string rendering of traditional holiday tunes, something like Windham Hill's "Holiday Guitar Collection" might be a better choice.
