5.0 out of 5 stars It just ain't Christmas without the Kingston Trio, December 16, 1999
By John M. Bentley (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
My parents used to play this album when I was a small child and it has always been a part of Christmas in our family. When I found it on CD, I was ecstatic because the old vinyl that we had was worn out. I still have that old LP for sentimental reasons, but the clarity of this CD is perhaps one of the best I've ever heard. It's not officially Christmas until I've heard this CD. I've ordered copies for some of my co-workers so that it will become a part of their Christmas experience in the future. Everyone who's ever heard it has been blown away. I wish more performers would take a page out of the Kingston Trio's book and record material such as this for the Holiday Season, simplicity and understatement goes much farther than over-orchestrated, over-produced pablum.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Christmas Album, December 15, 1999
If you're tired of the same old carols, or just want something different, this is a great one to have. There are a few familiar tunes, but the Trio definitely found some interesting gems including the rousing "Last Month of the Year". Their harmony is great as always. I grew up with this one and have been looking for and asking about it for years, my cassette (made from my parents old record-scratches and all) is worn out.

5.0 out of 5 stars My all-time favorite Christmas album, December 13, 2002
By Michael P. Kane (Gulf Breeze, FL) - See all my reviews
I've been listening to this album for as many Christmases as I can remember (this year is my 38th Christmas). I was so psyched when my sister found it on CD at Collector's Choice Music a few years ago, because my parents' LP version was in fair to poor condition after nearly 40 Christmases of playing. This album is my all-time favorite; not even Bing and the Andrews Sisters, or the Modernaires can match the orchestration, instrument-voicing, and harmonies of the Kingston Trio. The acoustic arrangements are unsurpassed by anything I've ever heard (although John Tesh's first Christmas album is a close second with regard to orchestration in my opinion). These three guys demonstrated their raw talent on this album. An extra bonus is the uniqueness of the songs (i.e., not mainstream selections). A small description of each song is included in the reverse side of the liner on my copy (copy of the back side of the original album jacket).
So order a copy today; you definitely won't be disappointed.
