Description
My Christmas Song for You is a mix of Brine originals and guest performances of similar ilk. The overall effect of the album is quirky, yes, but lovely as well. Brine's unique vocal quality immediately brings Leon Redbone to mind, but rendered quietly with his gentle strings it contains a mournful power that is quite moving. Opening track Mary Had a Choice Too (Behold Mother) brims with understated beauty, its sweet fiddle tenderly dancing around the melody line. The title track features Will Travis, his vocals softly appealing as he recounts past holidays. The down home Christmas continues on Emmanuel (God With Us), quietly adoring the Gift with simmering keys and exquisite strings. Geoff Bartleys Sonwfall is in the same lovely melodic vein, and David Nevues simple piano arrangements of Watching Their Flocks transports you back to that quietly wintry evening.
But it was Brines own Wise Men that I enjoyed most, his unique vocals borne by Linda Josephs searing violin and the unexpected noodling of Denis Colbys electric guitar. I dont know about you, but its the unique Christmas music that I look for, and Mark Brine brings it, in spades.
