5.0 out of 5 stars A mellow album of mostly original songs, October 25, 2003

Although Alabama are well capable of rocking with the best of them, they chose not to on this collection of Christmas music. The tempo picks up on Rocking around the Christmas tree (a cover of the Brenda Lee classic) and Hanging round the mistletoe (more recently covered by Brooks and Dunn) but they do not go full throttle even on those songs. So this is one of those Christmas albums to play during quieter moments and it works very well on that level.

Among the other songs, there are two old chestnuts - Little drummer boy and O little town of Bethlehem - on which Alabama sound exactly as you would expect them to sound. New tears eve 1999 is a track from their Twentieth century album. I don't think it was part of the album when it was first released in the nineties but it fits in well and I'm glad that it was added as a bonus track. I was young once too is a great father and son song. The other songs are a mix of love ballads and spiritual songs and make for very enjoyable listening.

This is another great collection of Christmas music from Alabama, though I think their first Christmas album was even better. At the prices quoted, both of them are a real bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars ORGINALS GLORE', March 29, 2001

By

Looking for something other than the tried and ture? This is the disc for you. Count'em eight orginals that glorify by bringing both praise and honor with the brightness of new tunes. Upon a couple of listen thru-s an understanding of the artist's source of pride and joy that went into the making is learned. The arrangement adds to this disc's delight flowing in and out of various generas with varied pace. A listener of many christmas moods would delight in its' suprise under their tree. (not just country)

If you enjoy Alabama...then please DO treat yourself to this CD! We have experienced many happy moments during Christmases past listening to their original Christmas CD with 'Thistlehair, the Christmas Bear'...this one is as easy listening and as pleasant..if not even more so! I've already purchased several to give as gifts in early December 2008...just so family and friends can enjoy it as well!
