Customer Reviews

Dolly brings her personality and style to old classics
Any initial disappointment I felt when I discovered that this album was filled was standards didn't last long. The songs have all been covered many times before - some more than others, though Dolly was careful not to repeat any of the songs that appeared on her first Christmas offering, Once upon a Christmas, which she recorded with Kenny Rogers.

Dolly's exuberant personality makes itself evident on such joyous songs as Jingle bells, which never sounded so much fun. I really want to jingle thos bells when I hear Dolly sing that song. With a country church congregation on First Noel and Joy to the world, and a children's chorus on Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Santa Claus is coming to town, Dolly brings many elements to this Christmas album. We three kings is another stand-out track here and (along with Jingle bells) is my favorite.

Dolly clearly loves Christmas and enjoyed making this very upbeat album. With so many familiar songs full of Christmas cheer, this is a great party album.

Brings out the Christmas Spirit
A very nice Christmas album with Ms. Dolly the lead vocal. All the songs are either classical(Joy to the World, Go Tell it on the Mountain) or comtemporary(Rudolph, Jingle Bells) but no can sing like Dolly. The most moving Christmas song on the album is the Little Drummer Boy. Dolly's voice sings is to the highest and comes off like magic. She also gets blends in different sounds and sings along with children to make this a memorable Christmas album. Though very limited, you should at try to get it. A nice addition to your Christmas Album Collection.

"Beautiful"
Dolly Parton originally debut this wonderful Christmas album on her ABC Holiday special of the same name in December, 1990. The special finished at #2 for the week and is widely regarded by Parton enthusiasts as being one of the best TV specials she has ever done. Although none of the songs are Dolly compositions, Miss Parton makes these tracks her own. The highlights are "Joy To The World", "We Three Kings", "Rudolph-The Rednose Reindeer", "Go Tell It On The Mountain", and "The First Noel". The album only went as high as #74 on the Billboard Charts, but a few years after its release sold 500,000 copies garnering Dolly another gold album. Another Dolly Christmas masterpiece, which is even better than this, is her Holiday album with Kenny Rogers called "Once Upon A Christmas".
