Our Review
It has been a season almost devoid of holiday rock CDs. Breaking the drought and filling the void comes "Christmas" the name of Alec Fuhrman and Charles Tapp's holiday pick up band. What a welcome relief! This progressive rock band takes me all the way back to the late-seventies, those halcyon days when rockers still walked the earth. You remember Genesis and Yes, yes? You have a warm place in your heart for Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, right? If so, then you will absolutely love 3 Ships, featuring four original tunes by Tapp and four sparkling renditions of some old-timey carols. Not a lengthy CD by conventional standards of time and space, it makes up for its brevity with irresistable arrangements and cool vocals. Not a huge listener to progressive rock in recent years, this record makes me pine for a time when the world was young and Pink Floyd rocked me to sleep each night.
