The Blenders, one of our favorite groups of all time, and whose Christmas CD on PAC Records, 'Nog,' has been our best-selling Christmas title, have a new Christmas CD! 'Carol of the Bells' segues into a surprising, jazzy, blue-note vocal-percussion 'Twas the Night.' 'Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland' is a funky, bopping rap romp (with some non-vocal percussion). The sweet 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' has the trademark Blenders harmonies. 'When It Snows' is a powerful original, 'One Small Child/We Three Kings' is dramatically beautiful. The atmospheric original 'Pure Imagination' segues into a finger-snapping 'White Christmas,' a funky 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town,' a touching falsetto 'O Come All Ye Faithful,' 'Sleigh Ride' is a parody of the Velvet Underground's 'Walk on the Wild Side,' and a final sweet, rhythmic original, 'Tiny Little Christmas.' Some non-vocal percussion and keyboards on some cuts. A striking, innovative Christmas CD by the Blenders!
