This review is from: Spectacular Bluegrass Christmas (Audio CD)

Well, you do have to really enjoy the sound of banjo, steel guitar, ukelele, dobra, etc. to get the full benefit of this album, but if you have any taste at all for "Good Ol' Boy" pickin', you'll love this.

Now, if you already have "Pickin' On Christmas", you will find three duplications, but the other seven cuts still make this a worthwhile album.

Notable is Lorenzo Martinez' interpretation of "Carol of the Bells", a really soulful banjo rendition. But the bluegrass instruments bring out new sounds in all of the cuts. As I mentioned in my "Pickin' On Christmas" review, "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" does come out a bit fast & heel kicking for a carol, But basically, this is all good clean fun and highly enjoyable if you like bluegrass at all.
