Editorial Reviews

Nola Dobbyn

Every Christmas I play this favorite album of mine by Liona Boyd. Many artists have released Christmas albums over the last decade, but this is the one that I and my family enjoy the most. I am so happy to see that it has been re-released on CD as my vinyl album wore out several years ago and I have been playing my taped copy!!!

An enchanting, gentle, charming collection of popular and classical holiday tunes. NOT to be confused with those bland, boring new-age guitarists. Ms. Boyd is an accomplished artist, joined here and there by a variety of other sympathetic instrumentalists. One of the very best holiday instrumental CDs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Liona and Christmas, December 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Guitar For Christmas (Audio CD)

I purchased this CD for my own listening pleasure. I really enjoy Liona Boyd playing guitar, no matter what, and it was nice to find some Christmas music featuring her rendition of the Christmas songs.
I do prefer to listen to her play solo, however. Her notes are so clear and quite beautiful to listen to, and I have found personally that the accompaniment of too many other instruments can detract from the simple perfection of her playing, rather than add to it.
I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys guitar, Liona, and Christmas music....it's a lovely listen! Thanks Liona!

My brother gave this album (yes, ALBUM( to my parents one year, and I fell in love with her music. I bought the CD, and it kept me company on an 11 hour drive from Manhattamn to Erie, but I left it in the rental car and had no luck finding it anywhere until someone reco'd Amazon.
This is a great gift idea for people you haven't a clue what to buy for XMAS. It truly is a guft that keeps on giving
