Listen to A Pinecastle Christmas Celebration
A festive collaboration of some of the Pinecastle label’s finest, we’re treated to 13 tunes that retain the quality we’ve come to expect from their artists.
Troy Engle’s “Frosty Pines” opens the listen with un upbeat and melodic climate that uses his smooth vocals alongside flowing banjo, and Lord Of The Strings’ “Away In A Manger” follows with soulful singing in an intimate and powerful landscape.
Further along, “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is interpreted by Wilson Banjo Co. via the charming duet of charming call and response singing, while Red Camel Collective put a warm spin on “Christmas Through The Eyes Of A Child”, which flows with harmonic qualities and much beauty.
Arriving close to the end, Daryl Mosley contributes the heartfelt mood of “An Old-Fashioned Christmas”, and Danny Burns exits with “Nothing But A Child”, where the Steve Earle track emits so much grace from the stirring fiddle and gorgeous singing.
An excellent assembly of originals and classics, the bluegrass, Americana and country spirit is nothing short of timeless and touching.
