5.0 out of 5 stars Your Christmas CD collection is not complete without Mathis, December 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas Eve With Johnny Mathis (Audio CD)

I'm never tempted to listen to Johnny Mathis for the first eleven months of the year, but it almost wouldn't be Christmas without hearing him sing We Need a Little Christmas. I'm sure you've heard this version on the radio many times. Other familiar cuts on this album are It's Beginning to Look a Lot Alike Christmas and his exuberant version of It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

There are some less familiar tunes on here that are really quite enjoyable in a quieter way. Those songs include Where Can I Find Christmas/ Christmas is for Everyone and Every Christmas Eve/Giving.

This album is entirely secular music. Mathis has other albums that include sacred Christmas music. I have several of his Christmas albums, but I'd say if you are only going to buy one, and you want his Christmas standards, this is probably the one you want to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Commercially available Christmas recordings., February 11, 2000

Johnny Mathis makes one of his last recordings with the Henry Mancini Orchestra for this gem. The one the radio stations seem to want to play all the time is "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", but as usual it's not the best song on the album. "Jingle Bells" is a creatively-arranged toe-tapper that I enjoy a lot, but for me the best song is one that I actually had to get used to! After listening to a bunch of rousing Christmas tunes, this one, the last song on the LP, slows things way down and brings you back down to earth! Of course, I'm talking about the beautiful "It's Christmas Time Again". I bought this when it WAS still available on LP, but it's great on CD, too! It sure beats the heck out of his "Merry Christmas" album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas at its best!, December 8, 1999

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!" Even if it's warm and sunny, this will put you in the Christmas spirit! For 13 years this has been the first album I play to kick off the holidays. Johnny Mathis is in his usual superb form. Purchase this CD and it will become part of your Christmas traditions!
