This two CD set has some of the best country artists today performing great songs both traditional and relatively new! These artists all sing with a lot of style and sophistication; and those country vibes are awesome! The quality of the sound is excellent and I like that artwork as well even if it is a bit typical of this "NOW! music" brand of CD.

The first CD has so many great tunes I scarcely know where to start. Darius Rucker's "Winter Wonderland" is quite well done; He sings very well and the strength in his voice impresses me greatly. The musical arrangement is lush and it perfectly complements his vocals, too. Brad Paisley's "Away in a Manger" charms me with its beauty; and I really like Julianne Hough's stunning rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

Brooks & Dunn do a very moving version of "I'll Be Home for Christmas;" this sentimental, romantic ballad was always one of my favorites. Luke Bryan's "Run Run Rudolph" is hot to the touch; and there's yet another gem in "The First Noel" by Josh Turner. "The Man with the Bag" has a swingin' sound to it that is very creative indeed; and the first CD ends with "Silver Bells" by Kenny Chesney.

The second CD continues the outstanding music. Gene Autry's "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a classic charmer that showcases Gene's superb singing voice; and Vince Gill's "O Little Town of Bethlehem" is very pretty with that backup chorus harmonizing well. Glen Campbell's "O Holy Night" is a major highlight of the second CD; and I really like Tanya Tucker's "What Child Is This;" her excellent diction enhances her performance all the more. Great!

Another ageless classic would have to be Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree;" Brenda sings this with lots of positive energy and she really makes this shine! Kenny Rogers' "Kentucky Homemade Christmas" has him squarely in the spotlight which is right where he belongs! That arrangement works wonders for the song, too. The second CD ends with two gorgeous numbers: Johnny Cash sings "Silent Night" and Burl Ives performs "A Holly Jolly Christmas." Burl always liked to sing "A Holly Jolly Christmas;" and you can feel his happy vibes when you hear him do this faultlessly.

If holiday music with a country twist is what you like (as do I), then you owe it to yourself to get this two CD set for your music collection. This two CD set is full of such wonderful holiday music that you can truly enjoy it at any time of the year!

This is One of the Best Christmas Albums Ever!!! 20 Christmas Classics, all done by Country Music's BEST! Taylor Swift's Christmases When You Were Mine is The Star on the Tree. Plus, All the Great Holiday Classics. You wont be disappointed! Merry Christmas!!!

I ordered this CD to Germany because I really like American country music and I can say that my husband and I love it. We listened to it a lot last Christmas and also our little boy wanted us to put it in the CD-player all the time. It's country - but not too much. That means: you can listen to all your favorite well-known Christmas songs with some special country Christmas songs I haven't heard before. Johnny Cash's version of Silent Night really got me into it - and that is from a German with the original song being an Austrian with German lyrics. I can only recommend the CD!

I love this CD. It keeps you from having to buy a bunch of cds just to hear the artists you love. It has two discs of all your favorites.

What you have here is two discs of both classic and new Christmas songs by country music artists new and old.

I love this CD. It is nice and the songs are easy to sing along to.
My family and I will enjoy this CD for years to come. If it is snowing outside this is the CD you would want to be playing while sipping Hot Cider..

Although I purchased this long after Christmas, I have played and played it.
Disc 1 is the best with the new artists. Great arrangements on old classics. So good that I'm glad no one could hear me singing Christmas songs in March. They would think I was nuts.
Disc 2 are mostly artists from awhile back. Still good.
Even if I only play disc 1 I got my money's worth.

I THINK THIS CD WAS A GREAT IDEA....I REALLY LIKE THE MUSIC THAT'S ON IT....I GREW UP WITH MOST OF THE OLD CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON THE CD....IT'S WONDERFUL AND I RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE SHOULD OWN ONE FOR THERE CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONS.....KEEP THEM COMING.....

this is a great mix of old and new country artists and songs of the season. i love christmas and am so glad i purchased this. i'll continue to listen to it all year round.

I liked the selections on this CD. It's hard to buy Christmas CD's and not get the same things over and over. This had some variety. It was nice to play during the holidays while I had guests in!
