The three instrumental tracks on this Christmas EP find guitarist Zakk Wylde balancing on a fine line: the basic progressions and melodies are subdued, but he hefts his electric guitar for the leads and here and there seems like he's about to throw restraint to the wind. Time after time, though, he pulls back after a brief flurry of notes, slipping once more into the background and letting the old standards breathe again. The EP is a slight diversion from the usual holiday fare, slightly awkward at moments but generally a fine fit for the season.
