Album Review
Never failing to be quirky and eccentric, Brave Combo has a very unorthodox Christmas album in It's Christmas, Man! Many of the songs are familiar, but what the foursome does with them definitely isn't. When was the last time you heard a ska version of Mel Tormé's "The Christmas Song," an Afro-Cuban take on "The Little Drummer Boy" or a samba version of "O, Christmas Tree?" And the impressive thing is that Brave Combo's off-center ideas (whether applied to original or familiar material) usually work. Very global in its outlook, the Combo combines American rock and R&B with everything from German polka to Mexican ranchero and Colombian cumbia, and, most of the time, manages to pull it off. If you want to hear a Christmas album that takes more than its share of chances, this CD would be a fine choice.

Yeah man, who'd know?
by mRtReMeLoMan I've been listening to "The Christmas Song" for ten years without realizing who played it (burned CD). It wasn't until I heard "Aja Sam," a Czech polka song (my ancestors) that got me into this neat folk band. Who knew they've been around for TWENTY years.
jingle bells
by star6092album is unique but i honestly love only the jingle bells song. reminds me so much of the song from disneylands haunted mansion durring christmas ^_^
Not your usual Christmas CD
by Go BCWhen my aged mother heard "The Little Drummer Boy" she loved it. "I get so tired of hearing all that "pa-rump-a-pum-pum" stuff during the holidays. I like their version". Brave Combo's version of Drummer Boy and other classics will put a nice twist on some standards. Highly recommended.
