Some friends of mine kept talking about TSO so I asked about who TSO was.  After getting a rundown on this band, I wasn't sure if I'd like them or not so I orders Beethoven's Last Night and was totally, and I DO mean totally, blown away.  So I ordered the other 3 TSO CDs despite them being Christmas music.  When I first listened to Christmas Eve and Other Stories, I was again immediately blown away.  This is the 2nd TSO CD I've listened to and I am awe struck.  The story this CD tells is one of beauty.  It's very touching and like Beethoven's Last Night, it can bring a tear to your eye.  But I have a heart for children anyway.  The orchestration, vocals, lyrics all seem to complement each other.  The finishing touch on this CD is the children's choir.  Despite this being a Christmas CD, it doesn't matter what time of year you listen to this.  In my opinion, it's a beautiful story set at Christmas time.  I would definately highly recommend this, an all of TSO's music to anyone.  I wasn't a fan until the first listen to Beethoven's Last Night.  Then I was hooked.  If you haven't heard any of TSO's music before and you want the experience of a lifetime, buy this (or any TSO) CD.  It's best to sit and listen to each one from beginning to end with no interruptions.  Read the story in the enclosed booklet, then play the CD and follow along.  It's guaranteed to touch you.
