Bottom line, a CD with variety, studio and live cuts, mostly holiday tunes and a couple not holiday related. Of course she's not going to sound the same as she did in 1963 - nobody is.
While I like the overall music and such, they should have called this "A Very Special Christmas Live 2" since several, if not most of the cuts are live. In most cases, the result is good to fantastic.
I got this CD when it first came out in 2001. I don't know why people are knocking Darlene Love's White Christmas, which is a studio cut.
My favorite songs are:This Christmas - Macy GrayBlue Christmas - Jon Bon JoviRun Rudolph Run - Sheryl CrowBack Door Santa - John Popper & B.B. KingLittle Red Rooster - Tom PettySilent Night - Stevie NicksWhite Christmas - Darlene LoveStevie's live version of Silent Night is quite good.
But she can still belt it out, as she proves every year on David Letterman's show. Plus the proceeds go to Special Olympics, so you do a good deed if you get this.
I ordered this at the last minute for a Christmas gift and it came in plenty of time and in great shape. thanks so much.
Stevie Nicks singing Silent Night is the best I have every hurd the arrangement was beautiful. Thank you
Although the entire cd is very enjoyable, Bon Jovi does a great interpretation of Elvis with "Blue Christmas". Very enjoyable cd for all.
The rest of the CD is fun and enjoyable. If you are a fan of Natalie Merchant than this CD is a must have. No this isn't the greatest CD ever made, but there are many really excellent tracks performed by some of my favorite artists. I guess you must be young enough to enjoy the newer artists. That track alone is worth buying the whole disc. The rock version of the Chipmunk Song is also very cool. I have the classic christmas artists versions as well, so it is nice to mix it up a bit. Put all my Christmas CD's in my 200 disc changer on random.
