I realize that not everyone will feel the same way about this music as I do. That's OK. The Three Little Bears song is silly, but also a nice little slice of Pop-Soul. Jimi's playing there is excellent as usual. Now for the main feature of this little single, Ep, or whatever it's called: The medley of Little Drummer Boy/Silent Night/Auld Lang Syne. There are two versions here, and the longer version is naturally meatier. Lovely songs all, of course. In Jimi's hands, they're not only sweet and beautiful, but yearning and soulful. But they're already soulful, deep melodies, aren't they ? Yes, they are. So Jimi's typical (for him) 50's/60's R&B/Soul meets 60's Acid Rock approach retains the spirit of the originals while bringing out the musicality of these tunes in a unique way. His relaxed, spontaneous, lyrical guitar lines are a joy, and he uses feedback in a tasteful, artistic way that I find very moving. In a word, SUBLIME. I'm so thankful that this material has finally been released legitimately. Analog sound would be even better than digital in this case, so a vinyl release would be nice. Anyway, if you want it, you'd better get it before it goes out of print.Read full review
