I got It Wont Be Christmas With Out You. In October. And I can not stop litening to this CD. Brooks & Dunn pulled all stops to put together a fantastic Christmas CD.. Ronnie Dunn's voice is perfect on every song. He pulls your heart stings on the title cut. Then has you smiling and singing along on Hanging Round The Misteltoe... He has made Blue Christmas his.. Kix does a wonderful job on Who says There's No Santa Clause..as well as Santa Coming Over to Your House.. I cant say enough about this CD, Buy it your going to love it..Thank You Ronnie & Kix for making my Christmas

Ronnie Dunn is a brilliant singer while Kix Brooks is merely a good singer, but Kix has an outgoing personality that more than compensates for any vocal imperfections. These characteristics are demonstrated clearly in this excellent collection of Christmas songs old and new. Ronnie's style is more suited to the laid-back songs while Kix really lets rip on the up-tempo material. Although Ronnie normally sings lead on the majority of the duo's songs, this album is different. Ronnie sings lead on It won't be Christmas without you, Blue Christmas, The Christmas song and I'll be home for Christmas, all of them ballads and all superbly performed.

On all the other songs, Kix sings lead and his enthusiasm shines through. If Rocking little Christmas doesn't get those toes tapping, nothing else will. For absolute perfection, it might have better if Ronnie had sung lead on White Christmas, but Kix does a fair version of the song and I cannot fault him elsewhere on the album.

The five original songs are all of a high quality while the six covers are all well known classics. This is a hugely entertaining album that can be used as background music but will also appeal to anybody who wants to give it undivided attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just retreads of standards!, November 22, 2002

I've been waiting for years to hear Ronnie Dunn sing "Blue Christmas". I am not disappointed. With his great penchant for cry in your beer songs, you KNOW that this man could make you cry over "Blue Christmas". He invoked similar emotions with the original "It Won't Be Christmas Without You". Don't think that the entire disc is maudlin and heavy. Kix Brooks springs some fun energy into songs like "Santa's Coming Over to Your House". The treatments of the standards are respectful of the originals, but not just tired re-treads. This disc is going to get lots of play for years. Thanks Kix and Ronnie! You didn't disappoint me.
