Howe Gelb's Schlager Christmas Album

by Howe Gelb

supported by

Yer Mom Album of the year 2022. Hands down. I'm so blown away that I'm at a loss for words. The Ballad Of Pepper & Halo is amazing. David At The Door floored me. This album is a masterpiece. I'm a big fan of this Lowery organ sound. Howe delivers with his iconic voice and impeccable timing. I thoroughly hope this experiment continues. There's a plethora of gems on this incredible album. 10/10 recommend. The only thing that could top this would be a Schlager Blue Marble Girl with a gospel choir. ✌❤ Favorite track: The Ballad Of Pepper & Halo.

Daniel Alward Simply wonderful. Refreshingly different but fits well with the same old. Love the tone. This album is for year-round listening. Don't let the title fool you into thinking it has to collect dust until December. Favorite track: The Ballad Of Pepper & Halo.

Tao My goodness! I'm not sure what to make of this record. Do you suppose it's a growing thing? Like - it becomes more digestible the more I play it? But how much.., i mean i only play christmas music during Christmas. 🎄🤔 That organ... What it does, though, is making me laugh. I hope it's intentioned. But his voice ... nothing can ever go wrong with that voice.

about

We all need a Christmas album without any pesky Christmas songs. This Lowrey organ always sounds like Christmas to me. It speaks to me and it tells me it wants to be Schlager bad. Hope it adds to the gist of this season and well beyond it when the original meaning is ever needed.

Real Peace & True Love,
Howe

#Joy

about

Howe Gelb Tucson, Arizona

"If distinctive classification were the stuff of bricks that form the world's universal foundation of descriptive sound, then one would suppose that I/we are but the mortar in between all categorical bricks. Perhaps an uneasy fit for the discernible listener, but nonetheless, holding it all together." ... more
