REO also came out with a video game to promote their “Find Your Own Way Home” album. I think it costs $8 but it looks actually pretty cool. You can play it at Yahoo Games or other sites online. Worth checking out.

Christmas records always seems to be a way for singers and bands to cash in on the season. This CD is not an exeption. Most of the songs on here are originals by the bands with only a few being new versions of standard Christmas classics. How many different versions of “I Believe In Father Christmas” By Greg Lake are there? This is the cream of the AOR crop of the 70’s & 80’s on here, I just wonder why Journey isn’t on here. There really isn’t a standout track on here but there are no real duds either. Put this on and deck the halls, wrap some presents, or whatever you do around the Christmas time. It is a nice mellow rock album that blends into the background to create a nice atmosphere for a while. Isn’t that what Christmas music should do? Even 2 of the songs here mention or at least hint at the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus Christ. Check it out.

I have been waiting impatiently for this release because it includes a brand new song from Survivor and the CD is everything I expected and more. From Survivor’s Christmas Is Here, to Father Guido Sarducci with Santa’s Lamnet this CD has something for everybody! Fantastic original songs from Styx, REO Speedwagon and Eddie Money fit well with some classics like The Twelve Days Of Christmas by Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades. A must-have for any classic rock fan!

There are a few very good Christmas songs on this CD, especially those by Styx and Survivor. But it’s Mark Farner’s beautiful and inspiring “Mary (The Return From Calvary) that makes this CD special. I would recommend buying the CD just for this song alone. Truly inspirational!
