2020 CHRISTMAS RELEASES REVIEWED
We start with a vinyl bonanza, courtesy of Legacy Recordings, which is issuing a treasure trove of goodies. A must have is A Christmas Gift For You From Philles Records, featuring Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and other holiday classics put through the girl group blender by The Ronettes and The Crystals. In luscious mono of course. Elvis Presley’s The Classic Christmas Compilation draws on the best of his two Christmas LPs, including “Blue Christmas,” “Merry Christmas Baby” and the great non-LP single “If Every Day Was Like Christmas,” among others. Gene Autry’s Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Other Christmas Classics has that signature holiday hit, and plenty of fun stuff like “The Night Before Christmas (In Texas, That Is)” and “I Wish My Mom Would Marry Santa Claus.” There’s lots of easy listening choices; compare the different takes of “White Christmas” as featured on Seasons Greetings from Perry Como, The Dean Martin Christmas Album, Andy Williams’ Personal Christmas Collection and Merry Christmas by Johnny Mathis. Jazz more to your taste? Kenny G’s Miracles: The Holiday Album has smooth instrumental versions of modern fare like “Silent Night,” plus “The Chanukah Song” and “Brahms Lullaby.” Or do it up country style. On Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton’s Once Upon a Christmas, they assure you “I Believe in Santa Claus,” celebrate the holiday “With Bells On,” and make it “A Christmas to Remember.” Alabama’s Christmas
