This review is from: Ann-Margret's Christmas Carol Collection (Audio CD)

Ann-Margret and Art Greenhaw have teamed up again for a sparkling and refreshing adaptation of xmas standards that have taken on a whole new meaning.. The arrangements are great and a few like "what child is this", "g-d rest ye merry gentleman",and "the manger song" are haunting with a rock edge .."silent night" is fresh and original with what i believe have Swedish lyrics ---the jordinares and Ann-Margret seem to be enjoying "Go tell it on the mountain"---The entire package was a delight to listen to and I hope that this cd gets airplay and exposure --"g-d rest ye merry gentlemen" remains a favorite and this arragement is hip--Ive loved Ann-Margret for a long time and love all the oldies --it is nice that Ann-Margret is still re-inventing herself---in the 80's she was a perfect fit for the Rock and heavy guitar of Paul Sabu--would have liked to hear more of ann-margrets interpretation of sabus music--But 20 years later Art Grenhaw has captured the sensitive--and still so hot and very sexy------Ann-margret

5.0 out of 5 stars the best Christmas CD, November 21, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ann-Margret's Christmas Carol Collection (Audio CD)

This is the best Christmas cd I've ever heard. I play it all the time. I got this the week of Thanksgiving, and I got a Viva Las Vegas DVD too. Ann has become my favorite singer because of these and she'll be your favorite after playing this CD. She's awesome and this music is awesome. I wonder if she's made a DVD of these songs? She could also dance to these cool Christmas songs like in Viva Las Vegas. I hope she'll sing these songs on TV just like she does on this CD with this same band and these cool musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Top Ten Christmas Albums of All Time!, November 24, 2004

This review is from: Ann-Margret's Christmas Carol Collection (Audio CD)

I had been anxiously awaiting this album since I read about it a year back, and the CD is the ultimate American Christmas album. Every song, every arrangement is simply magnificent, a Christmas album that will go down as the very best in the pop standard arena. Ann-Margret perfectly combines the holy and the sexy for the most entertaining CD of the year, and one that I'll play not only at Christmas, but all the year through. The playfullness of Jingle Bells is the perfect counter to the sacredness of "I Hear The Bells". Moviedom's gain with Ann-Margret has been recording's lost, and let's only hope that the great Ann-Margret, recording star, will issue many more CDs as dynamie as this! Wait until you hear Ann-Margret's take on "What Child Is This" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". If you can imagine a Christmas/holy version of the lounge classic "13 Men" then these are it. Fabulous guitars, fabulous vocals, fabulous beat group/best of pop-rock sound here and on all selections. You can feel the emotion in the grooves. No synthesized, fake-o sounds here, just "live" "you are here" exciting music with sounds created by real musical instruments and voices. This is a magnificent companion CD to Ann-Margret's GOD IS LOVE, with this Christmas CD having more of a pop bent, and GOD IS LOVE being more country. God Bless singer Ann-Margret. God Bless this CD's music makers and directors. This CD has made my Christmas and my 2005 to come! It's the greatest!
