CARL AT CHRISTMAS

SNOW by Carl Dixon is a celebration of winter and the holiday season.It’s a compilation of some of Dixon’s favourites including a passionate and moving rendition of a little known gem called “Snow”,     (originally by Carolyn Mas)which became the title track for this album. Each song features Carl’s unmistakable voice, a respect for tradition, and an element of playfulness: the spirit that emerges in all of us during the holidays. One surprise is a little ditty called Snowflakes are Dancing; a co-write between Carl and his late father, Ronald Francis Dixon. Adapted from a poem that the senior Dixon wrote years ago, Carl has arranged it and now presents it to the world in a composition of fun and merriment.  Other tracks include enduring masterworks like What Child Is This, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and Oh Holy Night as well as some lesser known traditional carols like Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella and Here We Come A-Wassailing. There’s even a jazzy rendition of the timeless classic from Charlie Brown’s Christmas, Christmas Time Is Here,  and a version of Let It Snow hot enough to melt the snow. Aided by some of his trusted musical “go to” mates, Carl has created a wintery musical adventure. The whole album is a lovely and moving listen that wraps up with a reading by Dixon himself from the poem King John. SNOW will become a holiday favourite for years to come.

“Snow combines the familiar and the unexpected in a musical setting. I’m glad I captured these sounds and these songs.” - Carl Dixon
