5.0 out of 5 stars Big fun for the holidays!, December 3, 1999

This review is from: It's Christmas, Man! (Audio CD)

This Christmas album really stands out from the pack by being outrageously FUN, not just "pleasant" like so many other records. If you want a real Christmas party with capital "P", just give this one a spin. (By the way, I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't list all the tracks -- trust me, it's a full length album).

As I am writing this, the CD is not currently available here, but you can order it directly from the band on their own web site.
I remember "Must Be Santa" from the sing along with Mitch Miller records that we played at my house when I was a kid. Brave Combo makes that even more fun. They make a lot of classic Christmas songs more fun by arranging them in various styles including polka, ska, and different types of latin music. There are a few original songs here to, and out of those, "Christmas In July" is the best.
I was enticed to buy this after listening to the samples available here. Try it, see if you like it too.

You know, this album could've been a lot harder to get. It was sold to Brave Combo as something to do for the Japanese market...but be glad that the record company decided to sell it elsewhere, too! Brave Combo deconstructs Christmas standards into Latin dance format and throws in some originals as well, along with a charming, sweet straight performance of Schubert's "Ave Maria." It's enjoyable any time of year, and well worth your while.
