5.0 out of 5 stars THE Christmas Album, Finally !!, October 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Feliz Navidad (Audio CD)

RCA after 32 years decided to release this great album on cd, really hard to understand why so much time must pass for hear it again: Is THE real Christmas Album, songs, orchestral arrangements, voice and guitar of Jose... all is wonderfull, classic and on the same time new and creative, is absolutely un advice for all, fans, music lovers of the genres, listner of classic music, lovers of classical guitar and again on this cd, instrumentals tunes, english, spanish, Feliz Navidad, 3 bonus tracks never relesed before.... hard hear it only in Christmas time!
Below, this was the original Billboard Review in 1970 when the Album was released:

PICK - Originally reviewed for week ending 11/7/70
"Jose Feliciano applies his unique vocal and instrumental sylings to this recording of popular Christmas songs. Supported by a creative arrangement of strings, brass and percussion under the direction of Perry Botkin Jr., Feliciano adds interesting new dimensions to old Christmas favorites like, "Silent Night," "Little Drummer Boy," "Mary's Boy Child," and "The Cherry Tree Carol."

PS. Fans hope this nice gift from RCA can be the first of other for release originals LP of 60s and 70s of Jose in CD again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Christmas albums ever, December 14, 2003

What a pleasure it was to disover this album finally back in print after all these years. Thirty years ago, Jose Feliciano made "Feliz Navidad" a modern-day Christmas classic and it is, of course, the title song on this CD. But wait, there's more. Jose's mellow voice and expert classical guitar playing make every song a treat to listen to. And nearly every song is, to say the least, non-traditional.

A good example is Jingle Bells. Played as an instrumental with latin tempo, it becomes a real toe-tapper. Then there are the less common carols such as the "Cherry Tree Carol." Well sung, well played.

This is very simply a great Christmas album, ranking right up there with the holiday albums of Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole. At $11, what a bargain!

5.0 out of 5 stars An EXCEPTIONAL Christmas Album, December 13, 2002

I don't remember exactly when or from who my mother received this album, but I know for a fact it was more than 20 years ago. I, along with my five siblings, couldn't get enough of the guitar and the vocals. We played it over and over from Thanksgiving until New Years Day, yet our parents never complained. I remember speeding it up to 78rpm on the "Show and Tell" record player and being disappointed when we had scratched it so badly it was useless.
This album holds many fond memories of my childhood and I am so grateful it is available once again. This is the Christmas present that i KNOW Mom will enjoy.
