"Run With the Fox," Yes (Atco)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
yes.jpgOriginally a single in 1981, this Yessong by Chris Squire, Alan White and Pete Sinfield is a fairly straightforward holiday tune. Most folks think symphonic-length compositions when they think of Yes, but this tune tops out at just over four minutes; it has the high vocal harmonies and arrangement with ship-in-a-bottle detail you would expect, but it's uptempo and kind of catchy. Still available on the Yesyears box set. Squire had a full holiday CD in 2007 under the sobriquet "Chris Squire's Swiss Choir," on which this song is included; except for this song, it's a baroque classical outing with a chorus, all very authentic sounding. The choir is overdubbed on the choruses of "Run With the Fox," so it's not exactly the same performance from the original recording, but it's close enough for government work.
