CD Reviews

Great pop Christmas music classics by Barbra, Ella, Norah, F
Joanna Daneman | Middletown, DE USA | 12/25/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a real fan of Christmas music (except for some of the rock versions and the Chihuahua barking carol) and I have quite a collection. I added this CD to my playlist this year and I really like it. My favorite track here surprised me; it's Barbra Streisand "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and I am not normally a Barbra fan but I think I'm going to have to change my mind. Her beautiful, soaring voice turns this classing into a flaming torch song, warming anyone up on a snowy day.



Frank Sinatra's "Christmas Waltz" is another huge favorite of mine and it's here too. A great set of classics and I know we will be playing this a lot every year.



This CD could only have been improved by adding Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby", which I feel somehow belongs on a CD of this kind. Sadly, it's not on this album, but through the miracle of mix tapes, I can play it along with this CD all I like with my MP3 player and pretend it's here too.
