Independent Nashville based label, Silverado Records showcase their ever-growing, and incredibly exciting roster, on this joyous Christmas release.There's been quite a few Christmas albums put out this year by country artists and hearing the same songs being covered can get a bit tiresome. However, this Silverado release finds a good balance between new and old, with 3 original songs and 4 covers.
Up and comer Zack Dyer opens with an original, 'Snow Day', which is a cheerful track with reggae stylings.
Another new track comes from Gabe Burdulis. His song, 'I'm Looking For Christmas This Year', is my personal favorite on the album. A song about his memories of Christmas, it's a sweet song with a beautiful melody. Gabe has a wonderful voice too and is definitely an artist to keep an eye on.
The last original track is Crystal Yates' 'Christmas Time For Just Me and You'. This one is so classically Christmassy, with a wonderful piano accompaniment. Crystal has an incredibly soulful voice which shines throughout the song.
When it comes to covers, this release also does not disappoint. Whilst each cover are songs that have been covered countless times, each artist here puts their own spin on them and makes them sound their own.
Overall, this is a fantastic release and a very promising sign of things to come from Silverado Records.
