URJ Books And Music :: Music - Recorded (CDs) :: IT'S CHANUKAH TIME - CD

From the first notes of this remarkable recording you'll know it's not the "same old Chanukah music." With joyful exuberance, Julie Silver brings a refreshing new sound to many of our Chanukah favorites. From the bluesey slide guitar of "The Dreidel Song" to the Latin rhythms of "Chanukah, O Chanukah," from the middle eastern strains of "Maoz Tzur/Rock of Ages" to the reggae arrangement of the gospel classic, "This Little Light of Mine," this CD weaves threads of rock and folk with musical traditions from around the globe. Producer Tor Hyams' innovative arrangements and Julie's clear, soulful vocals perfectly capture the powerful message and enduring spirit of Chanukah. Traditional favorites like "S'vivon Sov, Sov, Sov" and "Maoz Tzur" blend seamlessly with contemporary favorites like Rabbi Joe Black's "Judah Maccabee" and Julie's own "It's Chanukah Time." A perfect holiday companion for the car or home, It's Chanukah Time will be an instant favorite for listeners of all ages.
