Product Description
From Amazon.com
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
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.

If you love the music of power tools, this CD is for you., Nov 7 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Toolbox Christmas (Audio CD)
All of your favorite Holiday songs created in the shop with an orchestra of pneumatic nailers, circular saws, spray paint cans, jointers, jig saw blades and the everpresent shop vac. This is a very musical and entertaining collection of songs. The only thing missing is the smell of fresh sawdust!

Holiday Music that Hits the Nail on the Head, May 17 2008
By Peter Isaacson "PENFOLD" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Toolbox Christmas (Audio CD)
A classically-trained musician *and* a woodworker does a great mash-up by using common-found items from the workshop to make Holiday Music. You also gotta love the pic of Woody with the toolbelt and the red plaid shirt we've come to know and love worn by America's Fave Woodworker on PBS.....Norm Abrahm
