Merry Axemas: More Guitars For Christmas Vol. 2 by Various Artists (CD, Oct-2005, BMG Special Products)

Excellent collection of traditional Christmas music updated with a Rock 'n' Roll attitude and powerful style.
Among the stand out guitarists are Robin Trower,Steve Stevens,Neal Schon,and
Trevor Rabin. Songs included are such chestnuts as 'O Little Town of Bethlehem','Do You Hear What I Hear','O Come,O Come Emmanuel' and 'O Come
All Ye Faithful' as well as several others.
I look forward to finding Vol.1 as well as awaiting subsequent Volumes.
I know this collection will long remain a favorite of my Christmas music
collection of treasures.

If you like Merry Axemas Vol 1; you will like this as well, maybe not as much. The CD is enjoyable to listen to and there are very good renditions of some classic Christmas songs. I would rate this 4 Stars (Vol 1 at 5 stars). I have added it to my Christmas collection and it is now part of the mix. With few exceptions, most everyone loves to hear the songs they remember as a kid, but having the Guitar play the melody makes for a quality listening experience.

I love guitar so I like this cd. It does not measure up to the vol.1 cd but it is still quite good. I recommend it if you enjoy guitar and Christmas music.
