The title says plenty, as this is a Christmas record that prefers a living room full of people, plus a few cousins on harmony, to candlelit hush. Cronin's voice, still bright and unmistakable, carries the whole thing with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Lennon's \"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)\" gets a heartfelt, anthemic reading, and the spiritual \"Children Go Where I Send Thee\" becomes a rousing, foot-tapping highlight. \"Little Drummer Boy\" builds steadily on its insistent beat, while \"Blue Christmas\" leans into a bluesy, late-night swagger that suits the band's Midwestern roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamiliar hymns sit alongside lighter seasonal staples, and the band clearly had fun mixing reverence with rock and roll, never letting either side crowd out the other for a moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who still spin Hi Infidelity at every family gathering, this makes a natural December companion, comfortable, a little loud and full of heart, just like the band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57254237995313,"sku":"603497865161","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/REO_Speedwagon-Not_So_Silent_Night_Christmas_With_REO_Speedwagon.jpg?v=1793559026","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/reo-speedwagon-not-so-silent-night-christmas-with-reo-speedwagon","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
