Woody Phillips Format: Audio CD

Open Box

Your favorite carols performed on your favorite hand and power tools. From the workshop of Maestro Woody Phillips, glorious holiday sounds ascend from the sawdust to the heavens. An extraordinary orchestra of hammers, saws, drills, ratchets, 2x4s, pipes, planers, and much, much more, unite to bring you a Christmas album unlike any you've ever heard before. Experience Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, The Twelve Days of Christmas, Deck the Halls, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Patapan, Good King Wenceslas, Auld Lang Syne and more. You may even hear the occasional mandolin, dulcimer or oboe adding their voices. What could be more Christmassy than goofy novelty record albums of goofy novelty songs you've heard all your life and have a distinctly love-hate relationship with? This wonderfully horrible record combines all the sounds that a well-stocked, Tim Allen-style tool shop can produce, if one is so inclined to use a drill press, bag of nails, saw, ratchet, table saw, and vacuum as musical instruments. Together with traditional wind instruments, mandolin, and a dulcimer, Phillips plays the carpenter's greatest yuletide hits. As the liner notes very correctly state, "Tchaikovsky's beloved 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' may never sound the same to you again once you've experienced Phillips's ensemble of antique hand drill, mandolin, anvil, T-square, level, and pipes." This is a great novelty gift, particularly for that relative you're not necessarily fond of. --Mike McGonigal P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review What could be more Christmassy than goofy novelty record albums of goofy novelty songs you've heard all your life and have a distinctly love-hate relationship with?

Make some sawdust and have yourself a merry little Christmas. --Florida Times Union, December 12, 1997 This recording was one of columnist Dave Barry s holiday picks on his gift guide. --Miami Herald November 28, 1999 About the Artist Woody Phillips has been a musician and a woodworker for many years. Although he often saw his father do woodworking as a child, whether he wood become a woodworker or musician eventually hinged on his training at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Passing his drills at the Conservatory, he hammered out a career as a cellist and arranger of early American folk music. Scraping by as a musican, however, his career hinges again on his present project A Toolbox Christmas. In this recording, his love of woodworking and music are seamlessly jointed. He seems to have hit the nail on the head here, as audiences have been riveted. See more
