Leon Redbone's voice is so distinctive, and he has created a wonderful collection of Christmas favorites, all in his unique bluesy style. This is one that I've had in vinyl for many years and I'm so delighted to see it in a CD format. Yule love this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Acoustic guitar Christmas music!, December 5, 2003

By

This review is from: Christmas Island (Audio CD)

If you love acoustic guitar music, take a listen to this. The duet with Dr. John on "Frosty the Snowman", never a song that I loved, is unbelievable. I'm not a cat lover (in fact, I'm a dog person!), but take a listen to "Kitty Cats' Christmas". It's just great music. There are a variety of instruments on the different songs: harmonica, upright bass, dobro, violins, banjo, drums, percussion, didgeridoo, trumpet, piano and sax. Then there's Leon's voice. I love it.

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea? How'd you like to hang your stocking on a great big coconut tree? This CD will take you there in the song, "Christmas Island". Highly recommended for acoustic music lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Christmas CD, December 14, 2004

I had the first version of this CD but just had to buy it again for the extra track. This CD is always in heavy rotation at home and at work over the holidays. It really is a marvel. Warm, quiet, and ever so slightly droll -- what more can you want for holiday music?
