The Critics Favor Rushlow’s Holiday Swagger…

“CLASSIC CHRISTMAS is Tim’s first offering in a new genre for him. As a lifelong fan of Jazz and Big Band he went into the studio with legendary sidemen who worked with Sinatra, Dean Martin, Mel Torme, Doc Severinsen, Tower of Power and also some members of the Nashville Symphony. The results are superb, giving a timeless and authentic sound to great Christmas classics.”  DIGITAL RODEO

“If you’re looking for a new Christmas album to join your collection you must pick this one up. Truly stunning, it will fit perfectly in between “Christmas with the Rat Pack” and “The Brian Setzer Orchestra : Christmas Rocks” albums.”  NASHVILLE COUNTRY CLUB
