4.0 out of 5 stars great collection of country Christmas tunes, December 9, 1999

This is the label's third country holiday CD, and it could be their best yet. The CD is loaded with the biggest names in country music--Randy Travis, Clint Black, & Reba McEntire, just to name a few. Some of the many highlights here include Dwight Yoakum's toe-tapper from '97, "Santa Can't Stay," Gary Allan's cover of the Harry Connick, Jr. song, "It Must Have Been Old Santa Claus," and for those who like a little bit of rock thrown in the mix, there's Travis Tritt's great version of "Winter Wonderland."

This review is from: All-Star Country Christmas (Audio CD)

The record label (Hip-O) who released this collection also released the four volumes of Country superstar Christmas, so this is really part of that series, albeit with a different title. This particulatr collection only has four standards, so is particularly interesting to those who like a lot of original or less obvious songs.

The Randy Travis track which opens the set is not taken from his Christmas album, but was newly recorded for this compilation.

Tracy Byrd has (as far as I know) never recorded a Christmas album, but he also recorded Christmas like Mama used to make it, a song included on the first Country superstar Christmas collection. Here, Tracy sings No room. The Rhett Akins version of song can be found on volume two of the series.

Christmas to Christmas is a song that I first heard sung by Lee Greenwood. It is also the title of Toby's own Christmas album.

Overall, this is an excellent collection which should help to get you in the festive spirit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not "All-star", January 3, 2001

This compilation left me very dissapointed. I have now listened to it for two Christmas seasons, and will probably not bring it out for a third. Many talented singers are not aligned with songs which would best show their voices.
