Christmas Treasures: A McPherson Guitars Instrumental Collection
Autumn Records

McPherson, the company behind a revolutionary bow-hunting and now guitar technology, has fast made a name for itself in the six-string circuit, and the beneficiary virtuosos are now giving back, offering their talents for McPherson’s “Christmas Treasures” compilation. This should easily become an instrumental yuletide favorite.  

From “Away in a Manger” to “Little Drummer Boy” and from Phil Keaggy to Bruce Gaitsch and even Matt McPherson himself, this beautiful collection is, in every sense, a keeper and should stuff stockings for many Christmases to come.
