Christmas jazz albums come and go with each end-of-year holiday season. And while they may make for good soundtracks to that holiday spirit, rarely do they stand up as much more than that, and certainly not as anything approaching a serious listen. ~ Amazon
"Carolina Christmas" is The Marshall Tucker Band's way of sharing the holiday spirit with their fans. Recorded in the band's hometown of Spartanburg, SC, it brings together MTB members past and present for a down-home mix of holiday standards and new originals. More than a collection of familiar Yuletide tunes, Carolina Christmas taps into the classic Marshall Tucker sound with its blend of acoustic balladry, up-tempo R&B, country-rock and free-flowing jazz. It's a Christmas gift with a genuine South Carolina flavor that only MTB could create.
