5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Christmas R&R Collection, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas Classics (Audio CD)

This cd is a must for any collector of rock Christmas music. The cd version is a better choice, 18 tunes in all while the cassette only has 12. Great holiday fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great-But It's Time For A Vol. 2!, August 15, 2001

For anyone that enjoys rock, pop & r&b versions of Christmas tunes, this should be a welcome addition to your collection. There's something for everyone on here, and yes, the usual (but still timeless)fare such as Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Berry, Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helm & White Christmas by The Drifters, but you'll also find rarities like Johnny Horton's They Shined Up Rudolph's Nose(now be honest, how often does this one get airplay come holiday time?), Aretha's Winter Wonderland & the always funny Ray Stevens singing Santa Claus Is Watching You. The cd is a better bargain than the cassette, as it has 6 more songs. I've been listening to this one for over 10 years now & wish RHINO would come out with a 2nd volume. Very highly recommended.

I've had this CD for at least 10 years, and it gets played at least once during the holidays, usually more than that. Every track on here is a winner, even the lesser known ones. If you want to "rock up" your holiday music collection, this CD is for you!!
