It's difficult to write about a Christmas songs record when we are just reaching the middle of November... Let alone what it was for the musicians recording it several months ago, maybe in the middle of the summer!

This record is just what it seems to be: a Christmas songs album by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. So then, Christmas Swing style, as it become some kind of a tradition for the band. You get what you see. Of course, with the great Brian Setzer taking the lead, top quality is guaranteed, as are guaranteed for sure those incredible guitar licks that nobody can copy.

"Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree", "Yabba-Dabba Yuletide" (a Christmas adaptation of the famous "The Flinstones" song), "Rockabilly Rudolph" and "Here Comes Santa Claus" are likely to be the best songs among the Rocking ones; while "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" (instro) are the highlights among the slow ones.

If Christmas is for you the most wonderful time of the year, you're going to like this CD and would be a good choice to put rhythm with style to the season.
