This review is from: Elvis' Christmas Album (Audio CD)
One of the few "rock and roll" Christmas albums I can stomach, "Elvis' Christmas Album" was recorded in the heat of summer 1957 and was regarded as an act of blashphemy upon its release later in the year. How dare this ducktailed rock and roller with his pink Cadillacs and sexually suggestive performing style...this pelvis thrusting pied piper of indecency...this...this...multi-millionaire juvenile delinquent, record "White Christmas"? Even the song's composer, Irving Berlin, was upset and asked radio stations not to play Presley's version. There are moments on this disc when the King seems to playfully mock the sentiments of some of these songs as if to taunt his critics, but for the most part he sounds sincere and never fails to be anything but superb. He breathes startling new life into "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" and makes "I'll Be Home for Christmas" his own. "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane") is delightful, and "Santa Claus is Back in Town" is as raunchy in its way as his recording of "One Night." The album is padded out with four sublime gospel recordings originally released on the "Peace in the Valley" EP that break the lighthearted mood a bit, but also place the focus on the season's true meaning. This is a true classic, but Elvis fans who can't get enough of the King in yuletide mode might be advised to pick up one of the Christmas compilations (there are several) that include all of Presley's seasonal recordings.

This review is from: Elvis' Christmas Album (Audio CD)
This is the best pop/rock/gospel Christmas album ever produced. Elvis' favorite time of the year was the Christmas holiday season and his favorite kind of music was Gospel. Therefore, this album is the best of Elvis' most loved music. Elvis' voice projects his sincerity in "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" and in "Peace In The Valley" which was his mother's favorite gospel song. His fervor and sensitivity are revealed in "I Believe" and in "It Is No Secret." Elvis also demonstrates his playfulness in "Santa Bring My Baby Back To Me" and in "Here Comes Santa Claus." Of course, his versions of "Blue Christmas" and "White Christmas" are perennial favorites. If fact, it would not seem like Christmas without Elvis Christmas music. If Elvis was concerned about providing a gift that carried his sentiments of the Christmas season, this album is it. One can enjoy this album all through the year.

This review is from: Elvis' Christmas Album (Audio CD)
This is the best Christmas album ever, especially if it's the only one your mother ever let you play on the record player by yourself and when you were 30 and suddenly -- or so you thought -- fell in love with the blues and realized it was Elvis' Blue Christmas, Santa Bring my Baby Back to Me.If you don't have this in your collection, you almost assuredly should add it!
