4.0 out of 5 stars
To Call it "Garage Band Christmas" is very Misleading..., December 15, 2008
This review is from: Garage Band Christmas - Volume 1 (Audio CD)
...as only two of the tracks come vaguely close to being garage rock. The majority of tracks here are far too mellow to justify the drooling, bug-eyed Hot-Rod monster on the cover. It's a mixed bag of genres. Some country-ish, some slightly prog-sounding, some straight-out blues.
With The Shadows of Knight headlining, (and the oldies.com url listed boldly on the backcard), one might think these are vintage lost tracks, but they all appear to be recent recordings.
It's not a bad compilation, all that said. I just caution you against buying this if you're expecting a sound like The Sonics. I'm glad I got mine for only $6.99

great tunes for very little coin..., October 19, 2009
This review is from: Garage Band Christmas - Volume 1 (Audio CD)
well, Amazon hasn't listed all the tunes , so here goes..
"Rudolph's Off His Rocker" by The legendary SHADOWS OF KNIGHT teamed with the multi talented HENRY GROSS..this song should be an animated special!
worth the price of the CD alone!
"Cocktails WITH SANTA" Tommy Frenzy ( of TUFF DARTS,always a riot..) tongue in cheek night out with the big guy,,
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" THUNDER ROAD's cover of the FOGHAT classic
"Must Be Santa" Glen Burtnik "LIVE" in concert..tons of energy..
"What A Christmas" another great HENRY GROSS tune
"Christmas In July"..NY Garage Rockers go surfin'
"Trim Your Tree" Albert Carey Project all star band whips out a classic
"Chistmas In The Air" Colorado regional star teams with VINCE MARTELL of VANILLA FUDGE
"Same Old Christmas Song" NY producer HARLEY FINE..like GARY GLITTER meets The STONES
"Star Of Bethlehem" Pop rockers The Records return(sounding a little like THE MOODY BLUES)
all in all great band for $ 7.99!!
