The Albion Christmas Band has once again produced a superb album with "The Carols." This album is a collection of traditional Christmas carols that have been reimagined with a unique twist. The band's use of different instruments, including the fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, adds a folk-inspired sound to the classic carols.
The vocal performances on the album are also outstanding, with each member of the band taking turns singing lead on different tracks. The harmonies are tight and well-executed, making for a delightful listening experience.
One standout track on the album is "In the Bleak Midwinter," which features a hauntingly beautiful arrangement and stunning vocal performance by Kellie While. The album also includes lesser-known carols such as "The Cherry Tree Carol" and "Sans Day Carol," which are given new life by the Albion Christmas Band's inventive arrangements.
