5.0 out of 5 stars One of his best, November 23, 2003

By	Patrick Madigan (Mesa, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my favorite Christmas CD, hands down. I'm a little biased, as I've been a BB King fan for years, but I was blown away by the production quality of this album. I expected something more along the lines of Andy Williams, but this is one hot blues CD. I would rate this right up there with Blues on the Bayou, which in my opinion is BB's all-time best (I prefer his later albums).

I don't know why they reissued this CD under the 20th Century Masters label, only two years after the first CD was released. It appears to be the same album, except that they apparently substituted Merry Christmas Baby for What a Wonderful World. But if you love the blues, then you will want this in your Christmas CD collection. My favorite tune turned out to be Merry Christmas Baby, where BB demonstrates that he's still got the pipes, and Lucille can still sing, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden pleasure, January 3, 2008

By	CheapWhine (Saratoga, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best Of / 20th Century - Christmas (MP3 Download)

I pick this up the day before Christmas because I had gotten sick of "standard" Christmas music. I really enjoyed BB (as I usually do) and I liked the selections. My wife is not a big blues fan but even she remarked about how much she enjoy this set. This was definitely worth buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed !!!, January 9, 2009

By	Bacco (Voorheesville NY) - See all my reviews

From the first note you can tell this is not your typical christmas cd. The sound is awesome and it's BB King all the way. If you love BB King you will love this cd. It's christmas and it's blues by the "King of the Blues" himself.

In classic B.B. King style this is soulful and a pleasure to listen to. A welcome relief from the same old songs you hear on the radio around Christmas. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great listen
This CD has a very warm sound throughout. You can't go wrong riding with The King this holiday season.

Published 18 months ago by Howlin' Wolf

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD-a bit tongue in cheek!
Well produced, with BB sounding like he is enjoying himself. "Back Door Santa" similar to Johnny Winter's "Back Door Friend" in its meaning.
