Reviews (excerpted)

"Nathan Daughtrey does a wonderful job of adapting the traditional songs to marimba, adding his own compositional touches and creating variety between each piece. His imagination runs wild with a mixed-meter version of Deck the Halls with added dumbek accompaniment. Daughtrey's compositional skills are evident in his unique an clever arrangements."

Brian Zator, Percussive Notes (November 2009)

"If you're looking for music that soothes frayed nerves without the medicinal effect of wall-paper stuff at the mall, add this to your collection of holiday favorites. Nathan Daughtrey, an award-winning composer, arranger, and marimba player who has performed everything from Paganini to works by Paul Lansky turns to greatly-loved Christmas melodies and delivers a gift that will surely please anyone who enjoys the gentle, beautiful tones emanating from rosewood bars."
