85 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

Read my review of the song author's own Christmas album (Rehya Stevens' 'Tis The Season) here

Christmas is coming - which means so is New Year's Eve; and, although not a traditional festive tune or NYE standard, there is something so engaging about Tony Galla's new single, The Good Life, that it makes you just want to celebrate. Tony himself has been around for a number of years, jamming with people far cooler than I, so it is great to get some new music from a genuine industry legend. The Good Life (co-written by Rehya Stevens and Steve Lang, who was also on production) encapsulates all the positive energy and joyful spirit that comes at the most wonderful time of the year & harnesses it into a song with an enormous big band feel. Brassy horns and scintillating percussion are equal partners with Tony's smooth, expressive vocal as he reminds us all to say goodbye to stress and strife by focusing on the world's delights (just some of the uplifting lyrics you'll soon be swinging and singing along to). With a little Vegas glitz and a sprinkling of holiday fairydust, it is like being transported back to the officer's mess on New Year's Eve 1945 while you kick up your heels. Timeless yet timely, it's the non-holiday holiday anthem we didn't know we needed. Now go tell everyone you've ever met about it.
