Search - Various Artists :: Bachelor Pad Christmas

Nostalgic to a fault, A Bachelor Pad Christmas features some notable vintage vocal and lounge music performances, including Ella Fitzgerald singing "Let It Snow" and the original Mel Torme version of "The Christmas Song" (who wrote the chestnut himself). The compilation's most surprising pieces, however, are the numerous instrumental tracks, featuring David Rose on a lovely Christmas medley and Edmundo Ros's wild and enchanting arrangement of "My Favorite Things." And with Jimmy Durante's memorable "Frosty the Snowman" and Spike Jones's "Here Comes Santa Claus," you have to guess that this disc isn't entirely geared to single, swinging males (unless it is also geared at their inner child, too.) --Martin Keller
