Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

"I wanted to put together a collection of my favorite traditional Christmas songs that I grew up listening to," says Strait. "It was hard to narrow it down to ten of them, but I think I've done it. I hope these songs bring back good memories for my fans like they have for me."

Product Description

"The King of Country Music" George Strait will brighten this year's holiday season with his album, Classic Christmas, to be released October 7. The album's ten traditional holiday songs are Strait's personal favorites and they were recorded with the Texas Troubadour's own country flare.

Songs on the CD include the Christmas anthem "We Three Kings," the playful "Up on the Housetop," and enduring classics such as "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing," "Deck the Halls," "O Come, All Ye Faithful," and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," among others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!, October 28, 2008

This is an EXCELLENT Christmas CD. All of the songs are perfectly done with no frills...Just like you would expect GS to sing them. HOWEVER, it appears that this CD is EXCACTLY the same as the one released exclusively for Hallmark (you know, buy 3 cards and get this item for $5). Even the photos apparently were taken at the same time. GS is wearing the same outfit. I got my CD through the Hallmark promotion and it is entitled "Fresh Cut Christmas". So, the bottom line is BUYER BEWARE. If you got the Hallmark CD, don't bother getting this one. It is the SAME thing! BUT, if you didn't get it through Hallmark, get it now and enjoy Christmas music beautifully done.

George Strait is the King of country music, now he is the king of country Christmas. From his first two Christmas albums to this one, he has done a true country album with his first one, and he did classic albums with his second release and this cd with traditional Christmas songs. Any Strait fan will love these songs sung by their favorite artist and bring back memories of all of our Christmas' past and the excitement of those to come.

Since I'm a huge and loyal George Strait fan I buy anything he does music or other stuff. This is a really nice Christmas CD to add to any ones music library if you like country music. Each song has the George Strait twist on it. If you like true country Christmas songs this CD is for you. There isn't any song the Cd that I can single out as my favorite because they all are outstanding just like George. The King of Country Music does it again.
