“Christmas Time is Here” Holiday LP Album (CD)

Fill your home and heart with the joy of the season! Recorded between Nashville and Sofia, Bulgaria, Christmas Time is Here features Charleene’s fresh takes on vintage tunes showcasing her Celtic-inspired vocals amidst a lush and classic sound. Holiday Radio Top 20 smash hit “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” opens the album. Ethnic drums and klezmer bring a haunting new take on carol “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”, while an Irish house party (complete with jigs and airs) echoes in “Christmas in Killarney”. An all-new original version of time-honored prayer “Ave Maria” penned by Closshey features Bulgaria’s internationally acclaimed Sofia Boys Choir.

Says Closshey, “December is magical with its crisp air and warm feelings. Absolutely anything is possible! It’s that Spirit I hope to cultivate in the album’s sound. Love and connection can truly live in us throughout the whole year.”

Listeners describe as “perfectly addicting” and “peaceful for the soul…a true soundtrack for the holiday season”.
