Steve Bassett Merry Christmas from the North Pole
About the CD
"The folks at Ukrops in Richmond asked for a new Chrismas album for their stores for the holidays. Bryce McCormick met me at SounDog and I sang a list of Christmas traditionals I'd put together with him at the Steinway. Adirian Olsen and Cameron Ralston joined us on drums and bass, I played a little B3 and sang. I asked Jenny down to The Buddy to be a group of angels and she was.......and is. It had been over twenty years since my last Christmas album, and I really enjoyed getting in the spirit early again. I think folks will like our take on these familiar songs." - Steve Bassett

"Steve Bassett's musical style is a synthesis of America's root music; blues, r&b, gospel, and rock & roll. Not only does Steve have a true feeling for the blues, he is a master of the gospel idiom, and in this combination of talents he is just about unique in music. He is a singer's singer and he communicates with his audience in a soulful front porch manner that crosses markets and generations and leaves his listener feeling like he has sung to them alone." - John Hammond, Sr. |
