It’s Day 9 here on the 14 Days of Rock’n’Roll Christmas 2015 on the Laptop Sessions music blog! Tonight, I bring you a song that you probably haven’t heard of before. But, that’s okay- as George Carlin said, “When are gonna write some more Christmas songs?”
Today’s song is “Bethlehem”, originally done by the band Chicago. They actually came out with three Christmas albums! I guess they really got into putting that “Chicago sound” onto the holiday classics. But, there were a couple of originals and “Bethlehem” is a really cool tune. It has an interesting beat and some difficult chord changes. The chords themselves are easy ones, but they change very quickly.
The overall sound was a difficult one to get down. My version doesn’t sound exactly like the original, but then again, you haven’t heard the original, so who’s to call me on it? 🙂
I hope you like this song- give it a chance! It’s free to download, so it’s not taking much of a chance. I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 10!
