| Christmas in the Rockies I was tempted to call Steven Wiseman's Christmas in the Rockies a folk record, because of Wiseman's folky acoustic style of playing guitar. But as I listened further, I heard any number of influences from swing, to new age, to classical, all emanating from the same guitar. His style is simple and direct. He picks his guitar with authority and clarity, and his arrangements are spare, yet expressive. Accompanied by Michael Olson on fretless bass, Wiseman performs primarily instrumental arrangements of classic Christmas carols. He is joined by Deborah Peterson on several popular holiday tunes, White Christmas, The Christmas Song, I'll Be Home for Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Peterson's classy lounge diva vocals, complemented by Wiseman's unassuming accompaniment, are stunningly beautiful, especially on The Christmas Song. If you are looking for something new, mellow, and refreshing, Steven Wiseman's Christmas in the Rockies may be for you. 2000 |

| Your latest reviews - Steven Wiseman : One of the BEST Christmas CD's I own at least 25 Christmas music CD's from new age to country to classical and find this one by guitarist Steven Wiseman to be my favorite. What I really appreciate about his CD is how soothing and beautiful the guitar music sounds. Steven is a truly skilled musician. He has added some percussion, bass guitar, horse hooves and sleigh bells here and there. Four carols of the 19 carols have vocals sung by Deborah Peterson and are wonderful. I highly recommend this CD. Also, I recently learned he is working on a new all instrumental (guitar, of course) Christmas CD with an "island" sound on some songs!! I am anxiously awaiting its release. Thank you. |
