A Travis Tritt Christmas: Loving Time of the Year

by Travis Tritt

Overview

The harder Tritt rocks on Loving Time of the Year, the better he sounds. His Southern-boogie versions of "Winter Wonderland" and "Silver Bells" make a perfect antidote to sleigh-bell burnout...Elsewhere, Tritt writes the title track while covering two by Buck Owens and one by Sonny James. ~ Brian Mansfield
