Holiday Spirits (Bonus Track Version)

Holiday Spirits (Bonus Track Version)

The ten piece acapella group that formed in 1996 at Indiana University proves they’re no one-hit-holiday-wonder on their major debut. Holiday Spirits opens with a snappy rendition of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” — an acapella rendering of The Jackson 5’s 1970 version. They also reverently sing traditional carols, like a formal cover of “The Christmas Song” and a beautiful medley of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Angels We Have Heard On High.” Their performance of “This Christmas” gets a soulful spin with advanced doo-wop harmonies and the group’s delivery of The Beach Boys’ “Little Saint Nick” would make Brian Wilson blush with flattery. The Bonus Track Version features flawlessly sung recordings of “White Christmas,” “What Child Is This?” and of course a heart stopping take on Toto’s “Africa.”
