Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Dwight Yoakam's work as an interpretive singer has been solid and, as far as Christmas music albums go, this one is informed with Yoakam's great vocal talents and a country band that can get these tunes to swing in any juke joint. The rumba of "Here Comes Santa Claus" is a tad forced, but Yoakam's good humor is in evidence. This album may lack the gravitas of his best work, but it shows that even a cowboy feels like kicking off his existential boots sometimes and getting down with standards from years bygone. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Music Even Scrooge Would Love...., December 12, 2002
Being a real 'Bah, Humbug' individual when it comes to Christmas, it takes more than an collection of white-bread Christmas music to entice me to purchase and listen to a seasonal CD. The only one I have really warmed up to since the Original Elvis Presley Christmas Album was the beautiful work on Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas. That is until...Dwight's 'Come On Christmas' hit my ears and my heart.

I can't stress too much the overwhelming beauty of the first strains of the opening track, 'Come On Christmas' and how it causes you to catch your breath before even hearing the rest of the CD. And this beautiful song displays perfectly the impact that Elvis Presley's singing has had on Dwight's style.

To Dwight's credit, when he immerses himself and his great country style into 'Santa Claus Is Back In Town', he does not copy Elvis' rendition. Although a great deal of the arrangement is the same, Dwight belts it out as a C&W tune and makes it his own by making it totally down-home rocking country.

As others have mentioned the traditional carols are also sang in Dwight's own style, making them not just another karaoke rendition of songs we have sang every Christmas since childhood. You haven't heard them like this before I promise.

Dwight's own 'Santa Can't Stay' might be humorous to some and may bring back childhood memories to many who have experienced many a past Christmas as a child amidst a totally dysfunctional family life. Either way, the tune is a treat.

This entire offering makes Christmas music so much more than such bearable and ordinary. Listening is like giving yourself a very special gift.

So rush to obtain a copy of this very enjoyable Christmas CD for this season....then, I think it will be safe to say that every future Noel you will be saying 'Come On Christmas' in order to pull this disc off the rack and listen again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest rocking country christmas album ever, November 20, 1999
By Mark Pierucki (Milwaukee,Wi.) - See all my reviews
This album blew me away, as all of Dwight's do. His rendition of" Silver Bells", has a Tex/Mex feel to it that will have you dancing in the holly decked halls.His version of "Away In A manger", nearly brought me to tears.As he has proved time and time again,"Dwight Rules".

5.0 out of 5 stars The difinitive Christmas album for a generation., June 3, 1999
By A Customer
The most entertaining Christmas album I have ever heard. Santa can't stay is a humourous commentary on today's family values. The traditional numbers are arranged with a inventive new flare that only a "Dwight Yoakam" can improve upon.
