Honestly, who doesn’t enjoy the soothing sounds of holiday music? As green and red decorations are thrown up on all the light poles and banisters, nothing belongs on those iPods and stereos besides the uplifting sounds of holiday cheer. Folk-rock artist Dustin Kensrue joins in on the holiday this year with the release of his new album, ‘This Goodnight is Still Everywhere.’
Known better as the front man for hard rock band Thrice, Kensrue brings 10 great holiday tunes: eight remakes and two originals. While containing some great Christmas classics, such as ‘Baby Please Come Home’ and ‘Fairytale of New York,’ there are a few selections on the CD that were found to be a little dry, such as ‘Oh Come Emmanuel.’ I loooove Christmas music, but no musician can make this song entertaining, no matter how talented.
Kensrue’s original holiday songs are just as impressive, though. His song, ‘This Goodnight is Still Everywhere’ stands out as great as our most familiar Christmas tunes, with a slow and simple, yet soothing and catchy melody that sings the beauty of the holidays.
With several artists releasing their Christmas albums, Kensrue’s album certainly stands out from all the rest. All holiday music lovers should go out and pick it up; once Dec. 25 comes, the album will have to sit on the shelf for a full year.
