We're finishing up our special salute to Christmas albums put out by the US military here with another record from the Army. I can't say I'm a huge fan of that cover, but I'm sure someone somewhere liked it at the time. The music is excellent though, as is the music on all these military records. I don't think there's been a clunker in the whole bunch. This is
The United States Army Band-
An American Holiday Celebration (The United States Army Military District Of Washington No Number, Stereo). Oh, look a Chanukah song, I should have shared this out earlier in the season. Sorry.
1. An American Holiday Overture
2. We Need A Little Christmas
3. Lights In The East: I Wonder As I Wander; The Little Drummer Boy; Stable Down The Road
4. O Chanukah
5. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
6. Wassail Song
7. White Christmas
8. The Christmas Song
9. Winter Postcard: Winter Wonderland; Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
10. O Holy Night
11. Do You Hear What I Hear? - Finale
MEGA
That is quite the cover.
ReplyDeleteNot their best effort...
DeleteOh, you guys...
ReplyDeleteThat cover, could have been a bit better, but it looks so American representing different times in American life.
That being said, it takes the Army to come up with a beyond first rate album of songs, instrumentations, and production.
Well done...
There must not have been a war going on at the time, so they had to stay busy with music.
