Here’s a surprising change of pace…
John Cowan, known for decades for his blues and rock-inflected take on newgrass and Americana music, had recorded a Christmas CD for Koch Records. The project is titled Comfort & Joy, and it is due for release on October 13.
The tracks include an interesting mix of older and newer songs:
- Christmas Everyday
- What Child Is This?
- The Christmas Song
- Little Match Girl
- O Holy Night
- Good News
- Silent Night
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
- I’ll Be Home For Christmas
- Let’s Make A Baby King
- Ave Maria
- Go Tell It On The Mountain
I have admired Cowan’s voice since I first caught him with Newgrass Revival in the ’70s, and am eager to hear his his take on Ave Maria and O Holy Night, both very demanding pieces for a vocalist.
John is now accepting dates during the holiday season for a special family Christmas show. Contact Keith Case & Associates for details.
