Four on the Floor – Christmas Special Volume 1.

These will be slightly shorter versions of what you normally see in these blogs, and not what peeps expect from me! And its actually 5 this time around.

 

A Merry Axemas – A Guitar Christmas Volume 1 – 7/10.

Originally released in 1997, this a little beauty has 12 awesome players having some fun with a yuletide flavour, the only track I don’t care for is the Joe perry track, nothing wrong with the playing it simply doesn’t float my boat, there was a volume two but this is my preferred playing, go on have some fun over Christmas!

 

Twisted Sister – A Twisted Christmas – 3/10.

I’m a huge fan of the band but not of this album I have a friend who loves plays it on the morning of Christmas day, I think he does it to annoy his family, I played it, I didn’t hate it but its not for me or is it for everybody’s taste, at least they did it with a sense of humour but no thanks……NEXT!

Jethro Tull - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album – 8/10.

At last someone not taking the piss, some original (new) songs mixed with classics and not done tongue in cheek, this definitely wont be everybody’s cup of tea, but if you feel the need for some festive cheer this is a good place to start, I ignored it first time round 19 years ago but it does creep back in usually at this point in December, fill yourselves full of Christmas cheer.

 

Blackmores Night - Winter Carols – 9/10.

I love this album, I am a huge fan of the group, I like what Mr B does in almost all bands he has played in, but this seems like fun, the album has been issued a number of times since 2006, the best version is the 2021 version as it’s a double disc, again if you don’t like the band this wont do anything to fix that its more of the same, quality music well produced, a nice fire a large glass of something slightly alcoholic and a book to read with this in the background you maay be pleasantly surprised, I know I was, me being a carbon copy of the grinch well I was until I heard this album!

 

Glenn Hughes - A Soulful Christmas – 0/10.

Avoid avoid avoid, I love the guy and out of all the albums he has released this is the only one I hate,  that’s as much as I wish to say about it, I actually prefer the Twisted Sister album to this, thankfully the only blip in a glorious career!
