Our Take

Paul Kelly's Christmas Train is like a festive journey on a steam locomotive through a snowy English countryside, complete with mulled wine and mistletoe. Kelly, a seasoned troubadour known for his storytelling prowess, invites listeners to hop aboard his musical train and embark on a Yuletide adventure that is equal parts heartwarming and enchanting.

The album opens with "Jingle Bells," a rollicking rendition that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, Kelly takes us on a sonic sleigh ride through classics like "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night," infusing each track with his signature blend of folk, blues, and country influences.

Kelly's gravelly voice and soulful guitar playing are the perfect accompaniment to the crackling fireplace and twinkling lights of the holiday season. Standout tracks like "Winter Wonderland" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" showcase Kelly's ability to take traditional songs and make them feel fresh and exciting.

Overall, Paul Kelly's Christmas Train is a delightful addition to any holiday soundtrack. So grab a cup of eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and let Kelly's warm, inviting vocals transport you to a winter wonderland of musical magic. All aboard!
