Our Take

JORMA KAUKONEN's Christmas album is a festive feast for the ears, served up on a limited edition marble green vinyl for Black Friday 2021. This release showcases Kaukonen's signature guitar skills and soulful vocals in a unique holiday setting, combining traditional carols with original compositions that capture the spirit of the season.

From the opening track, "Silent Night," it's clear that Kaukonen is in his element, blending intricate fingerpicking with heartfelt lyrics that resonate long after the last note fades. The album's standout moments include the haunting rendition of "O Holy Night," where Kaukonen's emotive delivery transports listeners to a sacred space of contemplation and wonder.

However, not every track hits the mark. The cover of "Jingle Bells" feels a tad out of place amongst the more contemplative offerings, lacking the depth and emotional resonance found elsewhere on the album. Similarly, the upbeat "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" feels a bit jarring in comparison to the album's overall subdued tone.

Overall, JORMA KAUKONEN's Christmas album is a cohesive and heartfelt addition to any holiday music collection. While not every track is a hit, the moments of brilliance found throughout make this album a must-listen for fans of acoustic guitar and soulful storytelling. Grab a copy of this limited edition vinyl and let Jorma Kaukonen's musical magic bring some extra cheer to your festive season. Cheers!
