Our Review
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chris Trapper has assembled a collection of originals that pushes all my buttons. Trapper is a complete contemporary acoustic pop rock artist. Every melody exemplifies the most up-to-the-minute sensibilities if the itinerant singer-songwriter. Trapper's vocals are the angst-filled cry of 21st century renaissance men everywhere and capture the exquisite sadness of post-modern life in much the same way as Neil Cleary or Bob Schneider.
I love every song on this CD. From the wonderfully brassy string arrangements to the anthemic quality of the songs themselves, Trapper delivers exactly what I am looking for in Christmas music and, better yet, registers on my acoustic rocker radar as an artist to become better acquainted with.
