Customer Reviews
A memory from childhood
I am so thrilled that Amazon was able to find this album for me...I have been looking for it in CD format for a REALLY long time. This is the best Christmas album I have ever listened to. It brings back so many wonderful memories. I was weaned on Marty's Christmas album and am passing the tradition on to my children. I think they were as happy to receive the CD as I was! My kids are 18 and 16, so that says a lot...we all know what discriminating taste teenagers have. (Wink!) I strongly encourage everyone to pick up this CD and start a Marty Christmas in your home. His rendition of the more traditional Christmas songs ("O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing") are truly heartfelt and beautifully done, but I prefer the songs that aren't the standards. "One of You (In Every Size)" and "Christmas Kisses" always make me smile. If you want to be wrapped in the warm fuzzy feeling that comes along every Christmas, RUSH to buy this CD. You won't be disappointed.
A delightful surprise
I found this in the bargain bin and thought I'd give it a try. I was greatly impressed by the strength of Marty's voice. The arrangements weren't exactly country; nor were they the big band usually backing vocalists of that era. On several occasions, I heard what sounded like Baroque instrumentation. Overall, a unique and pleasant Christmas album.
Great Christmas Memories
Listening to this again brings back wonderful Christmas memories. I grew up listening to Country Legends like Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Kitty Wells and Marty Robbins. This is truly one of my favorite Marty Robbins recordings. Many of the songs are unique to him and to my knowledge have not been recorded by any one else. A must have for any one who loves to listen to the great old country music.
