THE UK CORNER (CD REVIEW): At home with Brian this Christmas.
But from the start, his signature style – tinged with an R&B groove, provides the perfect update to old yuletide standards and three original compositions.
McKnight’s first studio album in two years, recently promoted on The Oprah Winfrey Show as part of the "Fabulous Holidays on a Budget" segment, sets the right tone for Christmas.
It is full of family spirit with appearances from McKnight’s sons Brian Jnr. And Nikolas on Let It Snow.
McKnight’s friends join the party with guest appearances from country star Vince Gill, Argentine musician Noel Scharjris, classical/pop vocalist Josh Groban and Christian jazz group Take 6.
If you are single or if you’re not quite in the mood for festivities, think party season instead. Scharjris helps McKnight to fiesta in Spanish on Silent Night.
The pace of the album goes up and down and the up-tempo tracks are probably the best cuts. It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year should get the party started. McKnight says, "This is the most musical fun I've had in years."
Thankfully the fun leaks from the CD – the perfect soundtrack to the holidays.
"I’ll be home for Christmas" is available to purchase on Amazon and iTunes now.
