CD Reviews

Enjoyable Album - Nice Fresh Choice of Songs
Bill Anthony | North Texas United States | 12/17/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"LRB vocalist Wayne Nelson (who joined the band in 1981 and was lead singer on the top 10 hit "Night Owls") is featured on many cuts here, and the new original "We Call It Christmas" is excellent. Also a great rock version of Neil Diamond's "You Make It Feel Like Christmas", which no one ever covers. Several enjoyable and surprising choices, such as Do They Know It's Christmas, and Celebrate Me Home."
Tradition of great music, traditional sounds for the holiday
Duane Minnick | Ashburn, VA | 11/27/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Little River Band just keeps putting out great music. This Christmas collection contains some outstanding new music and nice arrangements of existing classics. I especially like the treatment of Kenny Loggins "Celebrate Me Home". This collection also remembers the "Reason for the Season" as several of the songs are wonderful sacred Christmas songs. Although there have been changes in the line-up through the years, the concept of well arranged music being sung and played "exceptionally well", has only gotten better with these guys. Wayne Nelson's lead vocals are as striking as ever, and the tight, clear harmonies are amazing. Only the Eagles and LRB ever got this pure "cool" sound and thank goodness, they are still doing it."
Another Little River Band Masterpiece

"Finally, Little River Band has put out a Christmas CD. Actually I was lucky to purchase this last year but now it's available in quantities almost everywhere thanks to a new distribution deal. It contains everything you expect from the finest band on the planet. Perfect, tight harmonies and brilliant musicianship. This CD contains mostly non-traditional Xmas songs done in their own unique style. One exception is Stephen Housden's from-the-heart instrumental guitar version of Silent Night and another, my favorite, is the band's original The Season of Love creatively penned by Greg Hind and Billy Thomas. Wayne Nelson and Greg Hind continue to deliver striking heart-felt emotion in their lead vocals. As hard as it is to imagine, they seem to get better with age. Also notable are Chris Marion's keyboard work and Rich Herring's guitar leads and of course the production and arrangements are top notch as usual. I highly recommend this CD to anyone with high musical standards. You won't be disappointed."
