Away In The Manger - Raymond Fairchild
Raymond Fairchild who has been known for years as The King Of The Smoky Mountain Banjo Players has assembled his Maggie Valley Boys to record this fun 14 song Christmas collection package of Holiday standards including; "Jingle Bells", "Joy To The World", "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas", "Auld Lang Syne" and 10 others you'll want to sing along with.
Smoky Mountain Christmas sports some excellent bluegrass music by Fairchild and his fine band. Ain't no fluff here. Anyone who's heard him in some of his earlier work with Rural Rhythm can attest to just how good-and exciting-he is! He is the ideal person to record a banjo Christmas album. His musical artistry keeps you interested in the performance while the variety and arrangements of these instrumental tunes help you enjoy this wonderful bluegrass Christmas album.
