Best Auld Lang Syne Recording:
"Auld Lang Syne" Scott West & Sex On Sunday (November 2006) featuring Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon with Sex On Sunday's Scott West, this version of Auld Lang Syne begins with West's dynamic piano and strings swelling into Hannon's searing guitar work. West's arrangement deserves top honors for its beautiful textures, riveting crescendos, fueled by the magnificently fresh power and tone of Hannon's burning fret-work. This warm arrangement brings an edgy, contemporary sophistication to the song, making it the best recording of this holiday classic."
