About this deal

Released the same year as Elvis Presley's own wildly successful yuletide album, A Jolly Christmas was seen as the tamer, more refined alternative to the King of Rock n' Roll and his swinging hips. You can also enjoy "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," among others. The series started to become subject to popular culture parodies, such as spoof band Shirehorses titling their first album from 1997 The worst. A sequel was released in November 2002 and another in November 2003, the latter proclaiming itself to be the last Air Guitar Album in the World. Bob Dylan might not be the first musician the holiday season brings to mind, but Christmas in the Heart still delivers the Christmas spirit with a side of surreality.

In 2003, the year he died, Sony Legacy released this excellent collection of songs cut between 1962 and 1980. Blue Monday" has been shortened slightly from its original 12" version, while the following track "How Soon is Now?The fuzzed-out Little Drummer Boy is magical, but the killer is Just Like Christmas, a lo-fi version of the Phil Spector sound, utterly joyous despite its depiction of tour-related misery: “The snow was gone, we got lost … it was just like Christmas. Some may disagree – namely everyone around me who is subjected to to a medley of Christmas classics in my less than tolerable voice.

On the album-opening blitz through "Jingle Bells," the First Lady of Jazz swings with such snowdrift-leaping abandon that the poor ponies pulling her one-horse open sleigh should've filed for worker's comp. But on every song, Elvis ingeniously adds a suggestive thrust to a lilywhite genre while slightly purifying his own bad-boy image by showing he could warm your hearth as well as roast your chestnuts. If you're looking for actual, traditional Christmas music, you couldn't do better than this rich, fascinating album of carols done by the New York Latvian Concert Choir, which is conducted by 74-year-old Andrejs Jansons. Death Row's Suge Knight-era dominance was cresting when the label posse got together for this album (minus Dr.Sometimes, the albums have captured a moment of popularity for things other than music, such as The Best TV Ads. The fact that this one is impossible to sing along to just increases its potential to be accompanied by dancing.

J'ai beaucoup apprécié le fait que dans le même coffret on puisse avoir un cd de chansons traditionnelles de Noël et dans l'autre cd radicalement plus moderne des chansons de Noël qui ne font pas fuir les jeunes de la table du réveillon. The high point is the finger-poppin' "Christmas Night in Harlem," when he growls, "Everyone's gonna sit up til after 3/ Everyone, we be all lit up, like a Christmas tree," and throws in a big, winking belly laugh for party-boss punctuation. If there is one Christmas song we all know by heart, it's Mariah Carey's " All I Want for Christmas Is You.If ever there was an ideal host for a star-studded holiday evening, it's Armstrong, who masterfully weaves his way through the classics, plus a few original tunes with his signature sound that are impossible not to enjoy. The best of the album's six originals is the darkly funny "Santa's Beard," in which Mike Love takes his five-year-old brother to meet Santa and the kid pulls the cotton falsie off Saint Nick's face in a life-altering moment of mall-bought demystification. Willie Nelson wrote the song "Pretty Paper" after witnessing a legless man in Fort Worth, Texas, who sold paper and pencils just to get by. The title track was recorded by Roy Orbison in 1963 and was eventually released on Nelson's first Christmas record more than a decade later.

Il y a toutes les chansons attendues sur le thème de Noël plus d'autres dont je ne comprends pas très bien ce qu'elles font là mais elles sont sympas à écouter quand même (A Spaceman cam travelling. Just ask Bob Dylan, who was raised Jewish but loved Yuletide tunes enough to record an album of them in 2009.

K. Christmas singles and college-radio novelties perfect for that last show you do before winter break. Sinatra's take on "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is one of the most definitive versions of all time, and it's worth listening to the entire album just to experience it.
