    From a recent interview w/ Emilio Castillo just days ago, sounds like T.O.P. plans to add to this holiday collection of songs, possibly adding a song or two each year, looking ahead. Castillo stated how the approach was to make an album that would have some lasting power. Producer & arranger Joe Vannelli sure helped fulfill that aim w/ a strong record. For a group that's been around since 1968, it sure has delivered some incredible music in recent years --- Soul Side Of Town (2018) & Step Up (2020) are as good as it gets from the funk & soul band from Oakland.

      Only until I sat down in my seat did I learn from the "T.O.P Superfan" next to me that Joe Vannelli is Geno Vannelli's brother. Joe V. evidently had a hand in REO Speedwagon's Xmas album of 15 or so years ago. "It's Christmas" is the kind of album that will endure. For fans of T.O.P., this one was worth the wait. Excellence from top to bottom. You can tell from the outset it wasn't a rushed project from this veteran & talent-laden group! Thank You, Tower Of Power!!

      "Don't Change Horses (In The Middle Of A Stream)" never gets old. Ditto D.O.J.B.!! T.O.P. is a treasure to hear LIVE! "Horses...." is from 1973, for Pete's sake. Wow. The band today is so tight & the rhythm section is just unbelievable that you easily can take your attention away from the horns. Jerry Cortez' nuance is elite -- I so love everything he brings to recent albums, including this one & the creative backing of the instrumental melody. Sad to see the venerable drummer David Garabaldi hang up the cleats. But, he's earned his stripes & we all can appreciate & love what the present-day Tower Of Power gives us fans. Ottergoose, it was a great show! Sure would like to see another holiday run mixed w/ hits again next year. But, doubt it happens. These albums come & go fast.

    The first thing that drew me to this interpretation/ arrangement is the changing time signatures. There are a number of 3/4-metered holiday songs-including this one. But, the 4/4 is cool & T.O.P. makes it their own. Anybody can make a Christmas record. Takes effort to create something in line w/ a band or artist’s brand.

    Wayne Nelson’s voice is clearly on its way out; he is the only link to the original LRB so I wonder what Stephen Housden will do when he retires. Will he put out a band with absolutely NO connection to the band or will he retire the name? I fear he’ll continue the band without any connection to the past milking it for all he can. Maybe he should have licensed the name back to Shorrock, Gobles & Birtles when he had the opportunity . I bet he would have made more $$$ than he has by licensing it to Wayne.

I liked Tris just fine, but he seemed to streamline Danny's more intricate drum arrangements whereas this fellow, Walfredo Reyes Jr., seems to be restoring some of the cool complexity which made Chicago's drum sound distinctive.
