Editorial Reviews

Nabors had his own TV variety show back when most of these 1967-72 tracks were recorded. His big voice shines on Go Tell It on the Mountain; O Holy Night; Silver Bells; The Christmas Song; White Christmas; Joy to the World; Jingle Bells , and more! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Christmas CDs ever!, December 3, 2007

This review is from: Jim Nabors Christmas (Audio CD)

This CD is flawless from start to finish. Columbia Records have taken twelve songs from two of Nabors' best LPs-"The Jim Nabors' Christmas Album" from 1967 and the 1972 release "Jim Nabors - Merry Christmas". They did an excellent job remastering these twelve tracks. The only problem is they left off too many good songs such as Jim's version of "Sleigh Ride", "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and "Christmas Eve In My Home Town" (all three from the 1967 LP). Too bad they just didn't make this a twenty-four track CD instead of a twelve and give us both LPs remastered. Oh well, it's still a great CD and I can't complain (even though I am). You won't regret this purchase...BUY IT NOW!!! Jim rocks!

Golllllleeeeeeee! Jim Nabors -- yes that Nabors, whose solid baritone has always been overshadowed by his Gomer Pyle hi-jinx -- recorded these tunes on two separate albums (in 1967 and 1972), both of which have long been underground classics. Legacy had (finally!) released this compilation ... just try and find a better rendition of "Go Tell It On the Mountain." (Sorry, Mahalia.) Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And he sometimes really does fulfill our wishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Classic, January 16, 2006

If you're a fan of classic Christmas music, this is one of the albums you need for your collcetion. Jim Neighbors is not Gomer Pyle. His powerful voice is on full display here, and the song selection is well vaired. Go Tell It On The Mountain is the highlight here, but all of the songs deliver a strong Christmas mood. This will fit fine right next to Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Nat King Cole in your Christmas album collection.
