A PROGGY CHRISTMAS

Over the years, I have accumulated a pretty big selection of Christmas titles, which I break out each December during the season that celebrates the birth of Bethlehem's favorite (and God's only begotten) Son.

This year, I thought I'd share some of them with you.



In 2012, some of the world’s top progressive rock artists got together and made a Christmas album.

Does it work? 

I don't know what you will think, but this brainchild of prog mastermind Neal Morse is like no other Christmas CD I own, and I own plenty of them.

Featuring the talents of Mike Portnoy, Steve Hackett, Roine Stolt, Steve Morse, Pete Trewavas and more, this album finally answers the age old question-“What would Edgar Winter's Frankenstein would sound like as a Christmas song?”

Geared towards progressive rock fans, the album features shredding guitars and soothing fretless bass, drums from Mr. Portnoy, occassional vocals from Mr. Morse, and everything in between.
