Description:
All I Want For Christmas is the first-ever album of festive music from world-renowned Australian "fingerstyle" guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel, CGP. In addition to creating new arrangements for nine Yuletide classics including "Jingle Bells", "White Christmas" and "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", Emmanuel also wrote one original for the collection--"One Christmas Night"--and arranged a second new composition, "The Magic Of Christmas Time," by Rick Price, who plays piano on the song."People have asked me about doing a Christmas album so many times over the last 20 years," says Emmanuel. "When I had time to really get into this project, it just had a life of its own, and was so easy to make because we all loved the music so much.It's exciting that there will be so many fans happy about it coming out."Long one of Australia's most respected and best-loved musicians, his award-winning career now spans five decades and multiple genres including jazz, rock, blues, and country. He is known for his distinctive "finger style" playing, using all ten fingers--a technique he was inspired to try after hearing his hero, the legendary Chet Atkins, play in the early 1960s. Atkins became a mentor to Emmanuel after they met in the '80s. Atkins presented Emmanuel with a coveted "Certified Guitar Player Award" (CGP), an honour the Nashville icon bestowed on only 4 other guitarists before his death in 2001.
