Christmas Songs
(2005)

by
Diana Krall/Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra
On her first full-length Christmas album, pianist/vocalist Diana Krall delivers a smoky, sophisticated, and slightly melancholy album perfectly suited to accompany egg nog cocktails and romantic afterglow holiday affairs. Although there isn't anything unexpected on Christmas Songs -- Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" is as ...

Merry Christmas [Universal]
(1992)
more music like this
by
Bing Crosby
"Der Bingle" in two distinctly different moods: from the solemnity of "Silent Night" and "Adeste Fidelis" (sung in Latin and English) to the playfulness ("gonna have a lotta fun") on "Jingle Bells," with The Andrews Sisters providing some smiles with their "Ji-ji-jingle" vocals. They duet on two more, including "Mele Kalikimaka." It also includes ...

Holiday Sing-Along with Mitch Miller
(1961)

by
Mitch Miller and the Gang
Holiday Sing-Along with Mitch Miller, his second Christmas/holiday record, is as enjoyable as Christmas Sing-Along with Mitch, thanks to his commercial production and appealing song selection. There are no surprises here -- Miller's records are all essentially the same; the only things that change are the songs -- but anyone who enjoys his sound ...

If you like your Christmas tidings with a dollop of good humor, then this batch of holiday tunes is right up your alley.

Home for Christmas
(1990)
more music like this
by
Dolly Parton
Since it was recorded during the '80s, Home for Christmas sounds a bit too slick, especially for fans of her early material, but it's nevertheless a reasonably enjoyable holiday record, thanks to Dolly's irrepressible charm. Thom Owens, All Music Guide

Because It's Christmas

more music like this
by
Barry Manilow
Pretty much what you'd expect, as Manilow tackles the usual seasonal standards, accompanied on "Jingle Bells" by labelmates Expose, and on "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by K.T. Oslin. If you like him, you'll like this; if not... William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

more music like this
by
The Ray Conniff Singers
Christmas with Conniff is Ray Conniff's first holiday record, and it remains one of his very best efforts in that genre. His light, pretty, signature touch is perfectly suited to Christmas music, and he and his singers make such carols and holiday songs as "Frosty the Snowman," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed ...

The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ...

Let It Be Christmas

by
Alan Jackson
Alan Jackson returned just months after the zeitgeist-defining, blockbuster success of "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," with his holiday album, Let It Be Christmas. Jackson has always been a bit of a traditionalist, but it's still kind of surprising just how traditional this album is, recalling seasonal records from the '50s and ...

Artists almost always release Christmas albums when they have a comfortable level of sales, and when Willie Nelson was at a popular peak during the late '70s, he chose to exploit his popularity by releasing Pretty Paper. Fortunately, the album was hardly a toss-off -- it was one of the finest country holiday records ever released. It's not just ...

Chet Atkins
One of the most underrated holiday platters of all-time, Christmas with Chet Atkins shows the father of country-rock guitar performing 16 holiday standards in his own incomparable style. Although the uptempo stuff such as "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Winter Wonderland" are excellent readings, it's in the slower-paced selections that Atkins really ...

Songs for Christmas

by
Sufjan Stevens
Like Avalanche, Songs for Christmas is nothing if not eclectic. A whole sleigh-load of carols and original tunes collected from 2001 to 2006, these songs were written and recorded off the cuff, and naturally many of them feel a little ragged and underdone. But they're far more mature than any of the songs on A Sun Came, and there are moments of ...
