I am so thrilled that Amazon was able to find this album for me...I have been looking for it in CD format for a REALLY long time. This is the best Christmas album I have ever listened to. It brings back so many wonderful memories. I was weaned on Marty's Christmas album and am passing the tradition on to my children. I think they were as happy to receive the CD as I was! My kids are 18 and 16, so that says a lot...we all know what discriminating taste teenagers have. (Wink!) I strongly encourage everyone to pick up this CD and start a Marty Christmas in your home. His rendition of the more traditional Christmas songs ("O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing") are truly heartfelt and beautifully done, but I prefer the songs that aren't the standards. "One of You (In Every Size)" and "Christmas Kisses" always make me smile. If you want to be wrapped in the warm fuzzy feeling that comes along every Christmas, RUSH to buy this CD. You won't be disappointed.

excellent Christmas Cd some new songs i hdn't heard before and of course Marty Robbins is THE ONE.very good packing and early delivery always good Bette

Marty Robbins has always been one of my very favorite singers of all time. His voice is absolutely pure and his writing style is second to none. His performances communicates heart-felt melodies to your very soul. This album has been around for many years and, I am quoting my five children,"Christmas is not Christmas without listening to Marty Robbins." This is the No. 1 Christmas album that our family listens to every year and I bought a new CD for each one of them. The songs on this album describes everything that Christmas is supposed to be about.

I always enjoy listening to Marty. He has such a clear
sweet voice and you can just put his music on and relax.

I found this in the bargain bin and thought I'd give it a try. I was greatly impressed by the strength of Marty's voice. The arrangements weren't exactly country; nor were they the big band usually backing vocalists of that era. On several occasions, I heard what sounded like Baroque instrumentation. Overall, a unique and pleasant Christmas album.

Listening to this again brings back wonderful Christmas memories. I grew up listening to Country Legends like Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Kitty Wells and Marty Robbins. This is truly one of my favorite Marty Robbins recordings. Many of the songs are unique to him and to my knowledge have not been recorded by any one else. A must have for any one who loves to listen to the great old country music.

First released way back in 1967, this is a great Christmas album by Marty combining old favorites such as 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' and 'Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem' with newer songs specially written for the album. Marty's beautiful voice is well suited to the songs from the sad 'Merry Christmas To You From Me', to the more lively offerings of 'I'll Take One Of You In Every Size', 'Christmas Kisses', 'Christmas Time Is Here Again.' There's not a dud track on the album and it remains one of the finest Christmas albums ever to come out of Nashville from undoubtedly the greatest singer ever to hit the town.

I found this to be a pedestrian effort at Christmas Music, not original or upbeat. The quality of the CD was below average, and it came with no liner notes.
If you want classic country Christmas music look to Hank Thompson, Eddy Arnold, Randy Travis or Buck Owens.
Most Christmas music reviews are of the 'I listened to this when I was a kid and was thrilled to find it on CD here's 5 stars yadda yadda' variety. I completely understand this type of review, but they're not very helpful.
I just wanted solid, mid 60's sounding country Christmas music, avoid this CD unless you are a Marty Robbins fan.
