Daniel DeWitt writes that Winston Audio has pretty much ceased to exist. Having decided to spend more time with his family and to get a "real" job to support them, the other members of the band have moved on to other projects. But music is still in Daniel's blood. So he's decided to record music that is true to his faith and that his family and friends will like. In that spirit, he offers this Christmas album as his first project on the new path he's determined. "DeWinter Wonderland" is a nice piece of work, too. Working with the classic songs and their existing melodies, DeWitt layers an undercurrent of Indie Rock with some truly spectacular results. I was very much enjoying the album anyway, after "O Come All Ye Faithful", but the work on "O Come O Come Emmanuel" blew me away. He shines on a straight forward "O Holy Night". "Go Tell It On The Mountain" gets a bit of a Country shine, but features touches of New Orleans styled Gospel as well. Daniel's version of "We Three Kings" didn't do much for me, but "Little Drummer Boy" was hypnotically enchanting Indie Rock. And "The Christmas Song", with its layered harmony vocals, sounds to me like Paul McCartney meets The Free Design. You know these songs well, but Daniel puts himself into them revealing new textures and possibilities. If this is the path Daniel has set for himself, I applaud him and hope it brings him and his family many blessings. Daniel plans an album in the coming year and has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funding for it. "DeWinter Wonderland" can be downloaded free here.
