Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Eddie G. ("no relation to Kenny," as his liner notes emphasize) is a Hollywood comedy writer who gained some notoriety for his annual made-for-friends Christmas tapes. In 1990, Columbia released one of his tapes on CD, and it remains among the finest Christmas compilations on the market. Highlights include such delights as Detroit Junior's rockin' "Christmas Day," the Skeletons' innovative blend of "Do You Hear What I Hear" with the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" (taking up where the Ventures left off on their Christmas LP), and terrific contributions from Foghat (yes, Foghat!), Louis Prima, and George Jones & Tammy Wynette, who are oh-so-fine on "Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus." Devotees still long for volume two. --Bill Holdship

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever Offbeat Christmas Compilation!, December 9, 2001

This review is from: Christmas Party With Eddie G. (Audio CD)

In the ten years I've owned this CD I've never found one to touch it. If the only unique track on it was "Do You Hear What I Hear/You Really Got Me" it would be worth buying -- but it doesn't stop there. Even the goofy little interpolations (the Old Philosopher and various old radio commercials) are tremendous. Get it and don't ever lend it to anyone (I almost lost mine)!

This review is from: Christmas Party With Eddie G. (Audio CD)

I picked up this CD on a whim way back when. To my delight, it has become a favorite. It's quirky and strange, with just enough "Christmasy" material to make it something that I want to listen to over and over. I had never heard several of the songs before, but now I've got a batch of new favorites! Even my partner, who isn't particularly a Christmas kind of guy, enjoys this CD and looks forward to hearing it every year. Hooray for something different and fun!

As a collector of unusual music, this one ranks as one of the best collages of Christmas music. From beatnik bop to zydeco, blues and flat out comedy, Christmas Party with Eddie G. has some excellent nuggets. If you like raising a few eyebrows, this one will do it. Find it!
