Carillon Choral (Directed by Muriel Lindor) - "This Is My Country At Christmas"
Happy Christmas Eve!
After the letdown of True Value's Happy Holidays (9), I was kind of nervous about this one being called "...My Country At Christmas." What dirt was I going to pull out of this one? I was hopeful, and the answer was luckily none. Although this was a letdown in the sense that it's a church choir album when I thought it was country, it was refreshing after Happy Holidays.
As the back of the record tells me, this Duluth, Minnesota based choir was acclaimed in both contests and concert performances. I have to agree that this is a very good sounding choir. The soothing tone and warmth that was only elevated by the record pops made me feel very relaxed. A little too relaxed. To wave off the Z's I decided to get some gift wrapping done while this puppy turned. It was the perfect soundtrack to creasing that paper and snapping that tape.
This album was chosen because of the black-metal vibes the black and white trees give off. With that, it does tend to get a little haunting at times. As most church things do; for me, at least.
Skal!
