Our Review
Home for Christmas (Christmastime in Paradise) presents only two songs, but what brilliant songs! John Fallon is an outstanding Irish singer-songwriter, and he truly knows his stuff. The title track is a true folk/pop wonder, marvelously memorable and sweetly seasonal. When I played that opening cut, I could not do it just once; I ended up replaying the song three times. The second track is a fun ditty about Santa's second job working on computers with his cousin Bob; despite his efforts to be "a regular guy," he still says "HO HO" on the sly.
Fallon's voice has a tender folk quality with the nicest suggestion of an Irish brogue. Spend just under nine minutes with Fallon on this acoustic mini-album, and you may fall into an addiction that will make you yearn for much, much more.
Bravo, John Fallon! We'll be looking for the full album version next year!
