Ben Keith's album "Seven Gates: Xmas Album" is a festive compilation of Christmas songs. The album was produced by Ben Keith, Neil Young, David Ferguson and Gene Rabbai and was released in 1994 by Warner Records, Wb. The album features vocal performances by Ben Keith and is in English. The CD is in the Xmas Vocal genre and is Brand New Sealed.

Steel-guitar influences from New Orleans, Nashville, and Hawaii converge on a snowy December day for this Christmas album. Longtime Neil Young collaborator Keith convenes a cast of many to deliver a seasonal instrumental/vocal combo of "country-folk new age." The sound is pastoral and unassuming, but imbued with a rootsy serenity and stamped with the cachet of guest turns by Young, Johnny Cash, J.J. Cale, and Nicolette Larson. Particularly fascinating is Young holding his own with a 27-member boys choir on "Greensleeves."
