5.0 out of 5 stars
1991 4 Song EP is stunning, Nov 17 2004
This review is from: Christmas Blues (Audio CD)
In this 4 song Christmas EP, Holly brings her unique stylings to The Pretender's 2000 Miles. Her voice changes octives and you think she is dueting with a man at first, but it all works well.
Then there is the Andrew Sister's remake of I'd Like To Hitch a Ride With Santa Claus with makes you feel as if you are actually in the sleigh with a glass of red wine. :) The opening track is the Dean Martin made famous song Christmas Blues. It's piano and vocals are cool and soothing. And last, but not least is her version of the pop Christmas classic Please Come Home For Christmas.
I wish that there were a full CD of Christmas cool yule and my wish almost came true. she recorded a live CD in 1995, Japan only with Santa Baby and live versions of 3 of the songs here. Then came the full length 2001 Baby It's Cold Outside with the Japan only bonus track Miracle. It was nice but after all these years, something seemed missing from this original project.
Never-the-less there is enough Holly Cole Christmas tunes to pick and choose your own personal favorites. Don't forget to include the 1998 song recorded for her Treasure CD called Christmas Trees And Holly Leaves.
Happy Holidays!
