Newrly Perfect Holiday CD, December 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Croon & Swoon: Classic Christmas 2 (Audio CD)
This is a wonderful CD. I was looking for something to augment my collection of Bing Crosby Christmas classics, and I stumbled upon this gem. I would call it perfect if not for that annoying "Santa Baby" song.
After buying it, I popped it into my cd player at work and listened to it on the headphones. The first 3/4 of the disk got me so warmed up for the holidays that I organized a tree decorating party at my apartment via email for that night. Then when I heard Julie Andrews' angelic voice pour silent night into my headphones my eyes spontaneously filled with tears. She really was something.
Buy this disk and enjoy the holidays.

A Wonderful Collection of Xmas Classics, September 29, 2011
This review is from: Croon & Swoon: Classic Christmas 2 (Audio CD)
It's a shame that this CD, "Croon and Swoon: A Classic Christmas 2," is out of print, because together with its similarly named predecessor (which is still in print as of 2011), they give you a very good collection of classic Christmas tunes.
Most of the best-known Christmas pop songs are on one disc or the other, sometimes in the best-known version and sometimes in a very well-performed alternative, and there are some beautiful traditional carols as well. Between the two discs, you get everyone from Bing to Mahalia Jackson, Julie Andrews to the Andrews Sisters, Burl Ives to Gene Autry, Lena Horne to Johnny Mathis, Doris Day to Rosemary Clooney to Ray Coniff, Andy Williams to Perry Como -- and many other major artists of the 1940s through 1960s.
If you're just starting a Christmas collection, or you want to supplement your existing collection with classics from the 40s, 50s, and 60s, you can't do better than the two "Croon and Swoon: Classic Christmas" CDs. Get used copies if necessary!
