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!

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!!

Great Christmas music. This cd is mostly without words and so is perfect for a happy warm atmospere throughout your house. It is also great to listen to while decorating your Christmas tree.

I liked this CD. There was one that got tiresome...the "monster Christmas" song...it didn't mix in well with other songs, but the other songs are great, especially the Stevie Wonder song and James Brown song. IF you like 60's-70's music, you will probably like this CD.

This is one of the best Christmas compilations out there. It focuses on rock and roll songs from the '50s and '60s. Every song here is great, even the Bobby Vee one! Most of the best known rock and roll Christmas songs from the era are here, plus a few lesser known, but still great, songs. There are a few classics that are missing, like Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas" and the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick", but the songs that are here are wonderful, so I'm not complaining. Highly recommended.

This one saw high rotation in my cd player this past Xmas. Who couldn't love "Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto"? A funky compilation and a pile of fun.

Nice rock music, but this is NOT by the New York Symphony, so if you're looking for an instrumental version, this ain't it
