These are songs for the ages and Lang loves that. "Images of a fresh fallen snow, icicles glistening in the sun, frost on the window, colored Christmas lights blinking on the tree, listening to my favorite Christmas songs during the Holidays, warming myself around the fireplace, all bring back fond memories going back to my childhood," he recalls. His music recalls a sound and style from yesteryear that helps usher in the spirit of the holidays in grand style.
Songwriter and performer Chris Stuart said, "It sounds like a classic Christmas album and it may well become one soon. Producer Stephen Mougin did a terrific job of bringing out the soul of every Rick Lang song. There’s a playfulness as well as spiritual tone to the album that reminds me of the best Christmas albums. I’m not waiting till December to play this, though. It’s already on heavy rotation in my house!"
