Nipper's Odd Collection

"This is an interesting, if odd collection; it's as though the executives at RCA assigned an intern to find anything they had the rights to and smashed them all together on the same disk. So you find Perry Como along with Alabama, Kate Smith and the Judds, Arthur Fiedler and Elvis Presley, Eartha Kitt and Willie Nelson songs and others as well. The collection doesn't know if it's in the 40's, 50's, or 80's. That's probably OK for a Christmas collection, which by definition is multigenerational, but tracking from Roger Whittaker to Alabama is a bit jarring, to say the least. It does have a good variety, however, and we load it with about 4 other Christmas collections and let the CD changer mix them up; at least there are few repetitions (of both song and artist) as you find on many other Christmas collections (Bing Crosby's "White Christmas", Nat Cole's "Christmas Song" are NOT here, which some may find a good thing, since they probably already have them somewhere in another collection.)"
