Sets The Standard For Christmas Music

David Maguiness | Carmel, IN USA | 03/06/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Christmas Guitar by John David is an instrumental collection of 13 popular holiday songs. Mr. David arranged and performed these carols flawlessly using acoustic guitars and mandolin. The performances are what sets Christmas Guitar apart from similar recordings: They are played so well you feel that is the way the original composer would have want them played. Christmas Guitar would be a welcome addition to your holiday music collection and is one of my favorites."

Crystal Clear and Beautiful Renditions

Ian Butler | Santa Barbara, CA USA | 12/05/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"John David masterfully lets the melodies shine through while still using the timbre of his instrument in exactly the right way, accenting just the right moments and harmonizing in unique yet very fitting ways.

A definate must-own in any holiday music collection."
