Being a Skynyrd fan for over 20 years, I must say this is one Skynyrd CD that came as a big surprise for me. My wife surprised me with it and I had to take a double look at the CD cover. A Skynyrd Christmas CD I asked myself? Very cool, man. I have alot of Christmas CDs. All of those wonderful classics from the 60's and up that I enjoy so much around this time of the year. But it's really great to see a CD from a band that I am such a big fan of put a CD out that have great Christmas classics done Skynyrd style. I put the "Christmas Time Again" CD on right away and loved it right from the start. This is going to a rock'n Christmas. Keep rock'n Skynyrd and Merry Christmas! Live to Ride, Ride to Live.

Ya it's a different Skynyrd, ya there's no Ronnie, ya every song on this tape isn't done by Skynyrd, but that doesn't change the fact that as far as Christmas tapes go...this one can't be beat. The only two songs that Skynyrd doesn't do are : Santa Clause is coming to Town, which Charlie Daniels does and Hallelujah It's Christmas which is done by .38 Special. Lynyrd Skynyrd has become one of my favorite bands, and I'd say that this cd is essential for anyone who loves Skynyrd new...or the Skynyrd of old.

When I first heard Lynyrd Skynyrd put out a Christmas CD,I thought are these guys El Loco? Guess again. Not only did they pull it off,but they have made another marvelous record.The band rocks out such standards as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Raindeer,Run Run Rudolph, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town,with the Charlie Daniels Band(ala early Elvis).Christmas Time Again is a smokey r&b influenced song with an outstanding duet featuring Johnny Van Zant and Dale Rossington. Even though this is a signature Skynyrd record,they manage to incorporate a beautiful orchestrated Greensleeves(traditional) keyboards by Billy Powell and Bill Cuomo,and also Classical Christmas-instrumental. The album concludes with another upbeat guest Thirty Specialand back to the group's honky tonk "Skynyrd Family." Whether you are giving or receiving,make sure this one ends up under your Christmas tree.You'll be playing this one for many years to come!

I catch myself walking around the office singing several of songs off the CD under my breath.Just can`t keep them out of my head!!I LOVE IT!!Merry Christmas!!!

Well, I must that I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that Lynyrd Skynyrd had put out this Christmas collection. But upon reflection of the Skynryd values I believe it to be totally appropriate. "Lynyrd Skynyrd are for the young and the old". And as I am the old and my 6 year old son the young we get so much enjoyment playing the collection. Boy....can my son groove! Lynyrd Skynyrd are lengendary, and now I only wish that either the band come down to Australia to concert, or I get the opportunity to see them live in the US. Happy listening fans and god bless all children.

I didn't know what to expect from this CD though I thought I would only be playing it during the holidays-wrong! "Messin' with the kid" and "Santa Claus wants some lovin" as well as "Skynyrd Family Christmas" are songs that fit the mood anytime you want to play some Synyrd!.

It's good to hear Charlie Daniels Band on this CD as an extra bonus.

This is the best Christmas CD yet. The old tunes were done so fine and the new tunes are honest. I could tell that they did this one for themselves. The emotions run high in Christmas Time Again and Mama's Song. Skynyrd Family is fun and uplifting. Finally, Skynyrd uses Dale's, Hughie's, and Ricky's talents out front.

I listen to a small preview and i like it so far did'nt want to listen to much since this a christmas gift to my wife. Wanted to surprise her on christmas day 2011.

I am a big fan of Lynryd Skynyrd and when i seen i could get their Christmas cd i was excited. It is an awesome collection of their own work for a great holiday cd. So, if your a fan of the group or would like to hear some different songs to celebrate the season i recommend buying this cd.

This is one that if you enjoy this band you will like it. Good mix between old and new Christmas songs.
