Synopsis

Album Description

"Willie Kalikimaka" features 13 of the holiday's best tunes and showcases the incredible musical versatility of Willie K. His haunting depth of traditional melodies "Silent Night" and "Unto Us Is Born a King" is countered with the sassy, local-style, up-beat renditions of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", "Mele Kalikimaka" and "Christmas Bells." Willie K's versatility is highlighted in the skanking sounds of "A Reggae Christmas," the soothing lullaby sounds of "Song of Christmas," and the foot-stomping "Little Drummer Boy / Ring Your Christmas Bells." Appearing with Willie K as a very special guest is country legend Willie Nelson, performing both vocals and guitar accompaniment in a soulful duet of "Away in A Manger". And back by popular demand, Willie K's powerful signature piece, the heart-warming "O Holy Night," performed as it has never been done before!

CD Reviews

The finest 'O Holy Night' ever!

Ogopogo | Grants Pass OR | 11/25/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Willie K's version of O Holy Night is, IMHO, hands-down the absolutely BEST pop version of this song I've ever heard. He also sings a verse or two in Hawaiian and the instrumental back-up is superb. Worth the price of the whole album."
