Is it too early in the year to talk about Christmas music? Does Caitie care whether it's early? Will Max let her be the grumpy one this week?! All is still merry and bright this time on Priority, as the team takes its quarterly sidestep to consider a work from popular culture. The Mannheim Steamroller album Christmas created a new sound in a style driven by traditional tunes. In their analysis, Caitie insists on recognizing the deep roots and modern spirit of Christmas as a cultural experience, and Max reflects on the significance of memories made around these holiday classics. Composer Chip Davis started something special when this album hit stores in 1984. Queue it up now with the Priority team to get into the spirit . . . even if it is a little early.
