Customer Reviews

Christmas plus Gospel
Another repackaging of the 20 Christmas songs that Elvis recorded during his career. The twist on this package that makes it different from previous Christmas releases (such as "White Christmas" and "If Every Day Was Like Christmas") is the second CD containing 20 Gospel songs.

Elvis' performance of the earlier Christmas songs (the ones recorded in the 50's and 60's) are outstanding! Elvis is in top form for these songs and several of them have become Christmas classics still receiving radio play 50 years after they were recorded! The Christmas songs recorded in the 70's are good but not in the same class as the earlier recordings. His performances of the Gospel songs on the second CD are excellent!

If you are looking for a collection of Elvis Christmas music AND some of his mellow Gospel songs, this is the collection for you!

However, if you are just wanting Elvis Christmas songs, I would recommend that you save a few bucks and buy the "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" CD, which contains all 20 Christmas songs found here plus 4 alternate versions on a single CD, making it the most comprehensive Elvis Christmas collection available. If you are just looking for some Elvis Gospel music I would recommend you buy the Elvis "Ultimate Gospel" CD.

a Must have double Collection
I dig Elvis doing Gospel&Christmas Music.His voice fits both styles solidly here.this is a welcome addition to any music collection.this is a great compliment to His Vocal range&all-Around depth as a Artist.

The King has never left the building....
This is a fine collection (if not a complete one) of Elvis' holiday and spiritual selections. His voice on both CD's is fabulous, as always, and the sound quality is supurb. The first selections show Elvis in his younger years, rocking and rolling. The later selections show a more reflective mood, when his voice sounds more bluesy. Both eras show an incredibly gifted man with an undeniable talent in interpreting songs. This also shows that before Springsteen, Madonna, Neil Young or anybody was labeled a "Genius" for reinventing themselves, Elvis had already done it many times over. In 1957 no other rock star would have done a Christmas album, let alone a Christmas album containing religious standards. Elvis would end up releasing another Christmas album and three religious albums throughout his career, as well as sing songs from every genre of music. It is clear that Elvis is having fun, and that he truly loves the songs he is singing (especially the gospel numbers). So if you want the best Christmas and gospel music done by the greatest artist is the history of music, this CD is for you. Hopefully it will just be a taste and you will dig further for more music by the King, if you aren't already a fan. TCB !!!
