This Christmas album has such a big sound that it makes other Christmas albums pale in comparison. Influenced by Johnny Mercer, Les Brown, Louis Prima, Bobby Darin and Duane Eddy, Brian Setzer is a retro genius. Standout numbers include a swinging "Nutcracker Suite", "Cactus Christmas" (think Cow-Cow Boogie), and an unexpectedly touching "O Holy Night". This album epitomizes Christmas cool. Highly, highly recommended. Play in conjunction with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Leon Redbone for a snazzy, jazzy retro Christmas!

Released again this year for Christmas, the great front man for the rockabilly/neo-swing revolution does it up right with a set of Holiday classic retro-rocked tracks, that fill the Christmas season with an injection of high octane fun and mayhem. The Brian Setzer Orchestra is back-and Boogie Woogie Christmas (Surfdog) is exactly what your stocking ordered!
If you want high energy in your Kringle, you're going to thrill for Brian's new interpretation of "Jingle Bells," and really get excited for the surf guitar vibe of "Sleigh Ride." There's some fun surprises, like the duet with Ann Margret on "Baby It's Cold Outside," and a special tribute to Les Brown by way of "The Nutcracker Suite." Even the slower, more thoughtful pieces like "O Holy Night" are electric in their contemporary energy.
Accompanying booklet contains complete song lyrics and band credits. This is the hot rod of Christmas CDs-a real must for the holiday season!

One of my family traditions is to buy a Christmas CD every year. It seems like each singer that puts out a Christmas album chooses songs from the same old song book, and even sings them the same way. I have a 5 disc CD changer and when the CD changes from Nat King Cole to Bing Crosby to the Rat Pack I can hardly tell the difference. Well that's where this album is different.
If you are weary of the same old slow Christmas songs that bore you to sleep after dinner then this CD is exactly what you need. Brian Setzer is a genius at arranging the music and putting his punk influences to old boring songs to create something that you love to hear.

Another Excellent Christmas CD
Another excellent mix of all kinds of Christmas music; rock, big band, and classical. Makes you want more Setzer, Stray Kats, and his orchestra.

Boogie Woogie Christmas from The Brian Setzer Orchestra
The Brian Setzer Orchestra presents the Boogie Woogie Christmas with a jazzy beat. They play and sing christmas classics in their style that needs to be heard.

good listening
Have always been a Brian Setzer fan since I first heard him during his Stray Cats years.
His Christmas selection is good and it was enjoyed through the holidays here.

Something new for Christmas
I got this CD for my 11 year old son. He plays the clarinet and he has become a big fan of swing. He loves the new twists on old Christmas classics.

So much fun!
While I agree with a previous reviewer that Brian Setzer's voice has not been well-preserved, this album is just irresistible. Read more
