Chip Davis transformed traditional music by adding a high-energy, electronic aesthetic. This project proved that instrumental versions of ancient melodies could perform well on the charts.
The production relies on a blend of orchestral textures and driving percussion. Released on an independent label, the record captures a crisp, high-quality atmosphere that persists as a holiday staple.
