"The Christmas Album"

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Audio CD: FDO 1997-10-07
Label: Rising Tide Entertainment
"Very wholesome, traditional Christmas music. Colorado Christmas is a family favorite here in Colorado but the entire CD is well done. Highly enjouable. I first heard Colorado Christmas on the radio during my first Christmas trip to the most beautiful state in the USA. Wonderful music. I had no idea who the band were at that time but I knew I had to get the album. It took some finding, first on cassette then on CD. It's my favourite Christmas song on a great album; reminds me of Colorado ski trips every time I play it. The Christmas Album finds the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band turning in a typically tasteful album and a surprisingly strong country holiday record. Along with a couple recent holiday tunes and originals, the Dirt Band puts their distinctive spin on traditional carols like "Silver Bells," "Silent Night," and "Little Drummer Boy." The end result is quite charming and should appeal to much of the Dirt Band's hardcore following. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Christmas Like A Lullaby"

John Denver
Audio CD: FDO 1997-06-27
Label: Laserlight
"John Denver's more sentimental Christmas release, Christmas Like a Lullaby, draws upon his favorite religious tunes. Even when he was happy, Denver's voice rang with a melancholy air, and it's this quality that makes his version of "Away in a Manger" all the more somber. "The First Noel" and "The Little Drummer Boy" also benefit from his folky tinge. But the real unexpected wonder here is when Denver steps out of the spiritual aspect of the season for a heart-wrenching cover of "Blue Christmas." For all those who never thought of John Denver as a romantic type, this ought to erase those doubts. True fans will probably already have all of Denver's holiday releases, but for its spiritual/sentimental theme, Lullaby may be the best. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Season's Greetings"

Dean Martin
Audio CD: FDO 1992-01-01
Label: EMI-Capitol Special Markets
"CEMA Special Markets' Season's Greetings from Dean Martin contains ten songs culled from hilarious Christmas albums and singles Dino recorded for Capitol Records during the '50s. Although the disc might not be an official album, it plays like one, since all the arrangements are quite similar and place the emphasis on Martin's easygoing charm, which is perfectly suited for such songs as "White Christmas," "Baby, It's Cold Outside," "Winter Wonderland," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "The Christmas Blues." Dean Martin's holiday specials qualified as "must-see TV" decades before that phrase was coined. His easygoing charm and velvety smooth voice won over a generation of fans in the 1950s and 1960s--and still holds sway over modern-day hipsters. This holiday album helps to show why. Never one for cheap sentiment, Dino sticks to the sultry ballads that he knows so well, emphasizing tunes like "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" over traditional carols.

"Home For Christmas"

Dolly Parton
Audio CD: FDO 1990-12-22
Label: Sony
"On Home for Christmas, Dolly serves up the type of country Christmas feast that only she could deliver, complete with all her Smokey Mountain fixins. Like Dolly, this collection is sometimes traditional and other times way, way, way over the top. But that's why you love her (that, or you don't buy her records). Dolly's at her best here with her torch-and-twang rendition of "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and the yee-haw hoe-down reeling that she slaps through "Go Tell It on the Mountain." "The First Noel" begins with a standard chorus before getting a kick-start from the band, and "Joy to the World" really rocks out. (By Dolly's standards, that is.) Her spoken-word reminiscing about her childhood memories in the Smokeys is touching, but a similar reading during "Rudolph" is almost painful. Great for fans. It will really put you in the holiday spirit. A beautiful collection of classic christmas favorites, good sound quality, a great download. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Chante Noel" (meaning: Sings Christmas Songs)

Celine Dion
Audio CD: FDO 1981-11-30
Label: Super Étoiles, Saisons
"Certainly the Celine's rarest canadian album nowadays. Recorded at the same time as the first, it didn't have a huge success. It features classical songs for Christmas. That album would be the only album made by Celine distributed in Canada not being certified at least gold.It was released three weeks after Dion's debut longplay and contained traditional Christmas carols. There were no singles issued to promote this album. Céline Dion Chante Noël and La voix du bon Dieu sold 30,000 copies in 1981 and they'd go on to sell about 125,000 copies the following year. Tracks 1, 9 and 10 appeared also on Dion's second Christmas album Chants et contes de Noël (1983). In 1993, Dion recorded an English version of "Joyeux Noël," called "The Christmas Song," which appeared later on her 1998 album These Are Special Times. She also recorded a new version of "Petit Papa Noël" with The Chipmunks in 1994, on their album A Very Merry Chipmunk. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Merry Christmas"

Johnny Mathis
Audio CD: FDO 1958-09-16
Label: Legacy Recordings
"Great Childhood Memories As a child every year my grandmother would play the Johnny Mathis Merry Christmas tape as well as other greats like Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole. All through out the season we would listen to the music and now when I hear "sleigh ride" it brings me back to those days of sweet childhood innocence & wonderment of the season. With the tree lights twinkling and snow falling outside the window. With the smell of the fresh cut christmas tree and cookies and cakes baking in the kitchen. I think of snuggling on the couch with a warm blanket and a hot cup of tea with cookies. That was grandma's specialty! Listening to this CD brings me back to those days and brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Holiday Inn & White Christmas"

Bing Crosby
Audio CD: FDO 1954-10-14
Label: Universal Records
"Unique collection by this clutch of definitive vocalists' well known material; includes Bing Crosby's universally popular 1952 version of "White Christmas." German import.
First off let me say that I have not purchased this album/cd. I have however purchased the album/cd Holiday Inn and White Christmas individually and this album/cd contains the exact same songs as the two individual albums/cd's.
I am a big fan of both movies and have loved these songs for years. The songs from Holiday Inn have Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire performing them and they sound just like the songs from the film. Marjorie Reynolds who sang along with Crosby and Astaire in the film is not on the album and while it would have been nice to have her participate her absence does not hinder the listening experience. My personal favorite song is "You're Easy To Dance With". This song is not as easy to find as the more traditional songs such as "White Christmas", "Easter Parade" and "Happy Holiday" and makes the purchase of the cd worth the price by itself.
The songs from White Christmas are the exact same songs from the White Christmas album. The order has been slightly changed. On the Album the songs follow the order they were sung in the movie but on this album/cd a few songs were moved around. I prefer the songs in the order they appeared in the film but that's a minor flaw. Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Trudy Stevens (who voiced over Vera Ellen's voice for the movie) all participate in this album/cd but Rosemary Cloony is replaced by Peggy Lee. Rosemary Clooney could not participate due to contract issues between her label and the soundtracks label. While Rosemary Clooney is missed Peggy Lee fills in wonderfully. While I like every song from the WC movie I most enjoy the songs "Snow" and "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing".
Chances are if you like either one of these movies you will love this album/cd. All songs are by Irving Berlin and are great fun to sing to. Enjoy!......

"Have Yourself A Jazzy Little Christmas"

Various Artists
Audio CD: FDO 1989-10-30
Label: Verve
"There's something for everyone on this wonderfully eclectic recording, which ranges from Oscar Peterson's almost lullaby-like piano on "A Child is Born" to Bill Evans's jazzy piano improvisations (overdubbed) on "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "O, Little Town of Bethlehem," a full-out, hand-clapping, rocking and stomping Gospel song. Containing both vocals and instrumentals, with arrangements which vary from softly sweet to full-out wailing, this CD is full of delightful surprises to keep the Christmas repertoire fresh.
Three of the songs here feature Ella Fitzgerald. "The Secret of Christmas" and "White Christmas," both of which she sings "pure," are soft, slow ballads filled with sweetness, while "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," with its quick beat, provides a jazzy close-out for the album. Dinah Washington's "Ole Santa" and "Silent Night" take the opposite tack from Ella, as she sings with strength and verve--and absolutely no sweetness! Billie Holiday's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," not exactly a Christmas song, features solos by the great Benny Carter on clarinet and Sweets Edison on muted trumpet.
Roland Kirk's "We Free Kings," the most highly improvised song on the album, features Kirk on flute and wailing sax, accompanied by an insistent drumbeat. And my favorite--Jimmy Smith's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is the greatest version of this song I've ever heard, opening with jazz tuba and drums (and sounding like giants walking), then introducing trumpets and a wonderful Smith organ solo, which soars into the stratosphere. A terrific album for the jazz lover at Christmas time, this CD showcases some of the pioneers of American jazz.
Very nice CD. Multiple songs are very jazzy played, even in such way that I could not recognize them at first instance. Very good.Christmas with the jazz legends. A great compilation and perfect for your christmas celebration. Enjoy the classics! Enjoy!......

"The Spirit Of Christmas"

Ray Charles
Audio CD: FDO 1986-09-02
Label: Rhino Records
"This is Ray Charles. Need I say more. He was the best, most complete musician of our time. He pushed rock and roll along in its pure infancy. He mixed gospel and blues to create soul music when there was none. He mixed country and soul and blues as he crossed all the lines that had not been crossed. This album is an example of him putting the jazz touches on Christmas classics and some new songs, at the time, as well. You can hear some of it on the soundtrack from When Harry Met Sally. (Walking In A Winter Wonderland). It's classic Ray Charles. What more could you want. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

He had a 20 year contract with RCA Records, resulting in 60 commercial record albums that made him a household name composer of easy listening music. Mancini's range also extended to orchestral and ethnic scores, and darker themes.

Among the symphony orchestras he conducted are the London Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, the Boston Pops, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Carol For Another Christmas (written by Henry Mancini) is a masterpiece which provokes thoughts of future Christmases. A very moving piece of music.

"The Christmas Song"

Nat "King" Cole
Audio CD: FDO 1963-09-27
Label: Capitol / EMI Records
"How can you not love Nat "King" Cole's classic Christmas release? From the first note to the last, it just drips with memories of Christmases past. Of course, it does help that I grew up listening to it.
It opens with the title song, which was introduced to the world by Nat. While I enjoy other renditions, this version is definitely a classic. While every song is wonderful, standouts for me are the songs I don't have as often in my Christmas music collection. "Deck the Hall," "O Tannenbaum" (Yes, recorded in German.), "I Saw Three Ships," and "Caroling, Caroling" are included in this group. And I have to make special note of "A Cradle in Bethlehem." This musical version of the Christmas story is very touching. I wish more artists would record it.
Having listened to this album every Christmas I can remember, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it. Even now, listening to it makes me think of dark winter nights, decorating the tree, and wrapping presents. It has a special place in my collection, and I'm sure it will in yours as well.
