Bluegrass instrumental - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Kelly Bogan
One man - Nine instruments - One incredible sound!
In this bluegrass instrumental album featuring dobro guitar, bluegrass guitar, mandolin, and three other bluegrass instruments, songs like It came upon a Midnight Clear, Fairest Lord Jesus, O Little Town of Bethlehem, among many others, are performed in multi-track format by musician Kelly Bogan.
"God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen is an English traditional Christmas carol. It is in the Roxburghe Collection (iii. 452), and is listed as no. 394 in the Roud Folk Song Index. It is also known as Tidings of Comfort and Joy, and by variant incipits as Come All You Worthy Gentlemen; God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen; God Rest Ye, Merry Christians; or God Rest You Merry People All.
"Kelly Bogan is a one-man band. On his all instrumental compact disc, 'Bluegrass Christmas,' he plays banjo, guitar, mandolin, resonator guitar, fiddle (just a bit), bass, zither, harmonica, and percussion. He is the source for every track on this recording.
The CD contains instrumental renditions of 12 of the best-loved Christmas carols. Bogan, a
guitar and piano teacher in Spokane, Wash., has done a fine job of accompanying himself. The arrangements are straightforward, the parts played very cleanly. Kelly Bogan is a talented musician, as can be noted in the crisp banjo rolls and the warm tones he draws from the resonator guitar. . . . .
Interesting moments on the album include the bass/percussion break on 'Joy To The World,' the guitar introduction to 'The First Noel,' and the Country Gentlemen-esque arrangement of 'God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen.' These and the other pretty pieces here would make lovely background music for any Christmas party. Christmas music lovers take note".
