A Beachwood Christmas
With James Lee Stanley, Peter Tork, Pamala Stanley, and Tom Paxton
Every year since 2001, Peter and James Lee have been creating a
private Christmas CD for you and their many fans around the world.
This year, Beachwood has joined with them to create, A Beachwood
Christmas. Coupled with songs from the previous years, this is the
first time we've offered the collection all together.
We are honored this year to include the estimable Tom Paxton, who's
song It Was A Night Like This has never before been on disc and
already sounds like a classic.
We've got the incredible Pamala Stanley, who's Coming Out of Hiding
(written by James Lee) was a Top Five for the year dance hit and
a Grammy nominee for Best Song of the Year. It is still frequently
heard in disco's around the world.. This time Pamala is singing
the classic, "Winter Wonderland", done to a New Orleans gumbo beat…a
new twist on an old familiar tune.
Peter Tork is singing his famous, "I Remember Christmas", (written
by brother Nick) which has never before been offered on a commercial
recording. Peter has created a joyous five string banjo instrumental
version of "Angels We Have Heard On High" with James Lee on six
and twelve string guitar. And finally he performed an amazing choral
effort recorded at his home with Peter on all the voices, the harpsichord
and the french horn in a tour de force we're calling PT's Noel ("In
His Master's Hall").
As for James Lee, he has out done himself this year with his popular,
"That's What I Want for Christmas"; a brand new classic, "Olde Fashioned
Christmas"; and a spectacular melding of two favorites (Dance of
the Sugar Plum Fairies and Deck the Halls) into one amazing choral
piece you must hear to believe. There is also a solo guitar instrumental
version of What Child Is This; and two accapella numbers - one a
new melody to the Lord's Prayer, with James on all the voices, and
the other sung with Pamala, entitled Flowers for the Living.
And the music is only part of the package. We've got portrait shots
of Peter, James Lee, Tom, and Pamala as well as the collages that
James Lee is also becoming known for, but this time there are three
pages of them. Pictures of concerts, studio shots, fans, all together
in an eight panel fold out package. The biggest package that Beachwood
has ever produced.
We believe that we have put together a perfect Christmas CD. One
that you will be bringing out every holiday season from now on…maybe
even on the 4th of July.
