Rick Seaton, Ivory Angels – Christmas Carols Reinvented

Rick Seaton played all the instruments, arranged, produced and recorded this whole effort on his own. Which wouldn’t be so impressive if there weren’t so many different instruments, played so well on this recording. This reviewer hates, I mean abosolutely detests, Christmans carols but this collection was quite pleasant to listen to. Mostly performed on the piano, sans any annoying vocals these tracks are so different from the usual x-ams fare that even we liked them. Seaton throws in unusual rhythms, a littel jazz flair and even some pop sensibilty bringing these old worn out chestnuts something new and refreshing to the ear.
