Man! It's Christmas Download
Produced by Jimmie, Man! It's Christmas hits the ground running with a jubilant classic jazz rendition of the Bratcher-penned title track "Man! It's Christmas". Which expresses the joy of the season while referencing just about every holiday symbol there is. A smokin’ jazz-funk version of “What Child Is This” follows, and it leads you into a down-home dobro-driven country blues arrangement of “Go Tell It On The Mountain.” Patriotic Christmas song “1941,” another original Bratcher tune, recalls the WWII events of December 1941. It expresses appreciation for those who have served our country and laid down their lives for our freedom. Backing Bratcher on the project is some world-class players, including Rick Yord (Suzy Bogguss, Lee Roy Parnell) on bass, Daron Tapscott (Joe Diffie) on fiddle, and Kansas City’s Brandon Draper on drums and percussion, and Eric Stark on keys, trumpet.
Many people consider Man! It's Christmas to be my best work. Well, I don’t know about that but I do know that I very much enjoyed making this album and playing these songs.
So if you’re looking to enjoy some really great Christmas tunes here you go.
Folks have asked about the jam titled 2 the 4. Why, just for fun….
Enjoy,
Jimmie
