5.0 out of 5 stars An Angel Gets it's Wings!, November 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas Cookies (Audio CD)

There is only one reason to buy this album. Yes, it's a compilation of new and classic Christmas songs recorded by well-known country artists from today and yesterday. However, buy this album for Track #11 "An Angel Gets It's Wings" by Trisha Yearwood and Vince Gill. This recording was previously unavailable and was recorded special for an exclusive "It's a Wonderful Life" theme at Target stores during the 1993 Holiday season. Back then, you could only get this song at Target on cassette single when you bought either Yearwood's or Gill's new CD at the time. It's a fabulous song written as a tribute to the classic movie. Thank you MCA for finally including this fabulous song in CD form. Even if you're not a country fan and I'm not a diehard, it's not hard to love this song. Great addition to your X-mas music collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of reasons to buy this CD!!..., December 4, 2002

Contrary to another review, there's sure more than one reason to buy this CD. Sure, I'll agree that the Trisha Yearwood & Vince Gill duet is outstanding. But there's lots more.

Right off the bat, there's George Strait's rendition of the title song, Christmas Cookies, a rollicking song, maybe mildly suggestive, but basically a lot of fun. Then there's Chely Wright's sprightly rendition of "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow". Lee Ann Womack gives us a deeply feeling rendition of "The Nativity", written by herself. Also along the more seriously spiritual side is George Jones' surprisingly devout "Silent Night". Then we're given three classics at the end, maybe a bit more rockabilly than country in the case of Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" and Brenda Lee's "Rockiin' Around The Christmas Tree", and country/folk in the case of Burl Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas", but still fittin'. Far as rockabilly goes, don't miss The Mavericks version of "Santa Claus Is Back In Town." And Tracy Byrd's "Jingle Bells" really swings.

I give this a full five stars, and think it deserves every star. I previously liked "A Country Superstar Christmas 4", but this collection is better balanced with five female vocals and one duet, and six more serious and spiritual songs. And while it's basically traditional country, it does include some rockabilly. So for those who like country, I give this my highest recommendation.

I LOVED this CD. I was looking specifically for a couple songs, but I wanted an all-around Christmas CD for the season. A great buy!
