Shutting down this site...APRIL FOOLS! But seriously, I really haven't been very active with this blog lately. However I have been coming up with ideas on how to re-organize the blog as well as going album shopping online and at thrift stores. I will continue to keep you updated on my official return.
George Winston - December 1982 (Christmas 2014 Post)
Happy Christmas Eve everyone! For this year's post, it will be a late one due to the fact that the holidays came by too quickly for me to prepare myself. Tonight I will be reviewing George Winston's 1982 album, December . To learn more about George Winston, click the link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Winston Now to begin, December is George Winston's fourth solo piano album, released in 1982 as a holiday album, follow up to the album Autumn , and as a tribute to the winter season. In 2001, a 20th Anniversary Edition of the album was released, including two bonus tracks not included on the original release. As of last year (2013), the album was again reissued by Valley Entertainment with Dancing Cat Records, since the original Windham Hill label is now defunct. This most recent reissue has been packaged in a Digipak and features a revised cover art, making the image wider and blending the text onto the art cover rather than above it. For comparison...
I so miss the Windham Hill enterprise, culture and sound. In the rearview mirror it is such a sweet melancholy universe,and I particularly am feeling that way on this Winter Solstice night. Listening to Winter Solstice II which perfectly evokes appreciation of Mother Earth as she rests, fallow. The music and artists were perfectly in tune. Wil Ackerman beought an exquisite gift to us listeners and followers.
