Well, I say 'new', but it's a new release of an old album - the best Christmas album ever recorded. It's been remastered (I'm not sure whether it has new musical accompaniment as well), and has a couple of bonus songs thrown in for good measure. One is Snowflake, which isn't quite a Christmas song, but at least it's wintry, and the other is Scarlet Ribbons, which doesn't really fit the mood of the season. They should have included either Ding Dong (a Christmas song sung in South Africaans) or his live version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I know all Criv-ites will be ordering this great album from Amazon as soon as they've finished reading this. That's right, isn't it, Crivs? Hello - is anybody there? Anyway, I've pre-ordered mine and will receive it on the actual day of release - Friday. Can't wait. Below is the Product description on the Amazon site.
Has there ever been a warmer voice than that wielded by Gentleman Jim Reeves? That light, warm baritone helped change the face of country music, helping to usher in The Nashville Sound with a series of albums and singles produced by Chet Atkins. He is without a doubt the greatest country crooner of all time... and of all his releases, his 1963 holiday album 12 Songs of Christmas just might be his most enduring. Now, this record, —which features such holiday evergreens as "An Old Christmas Card" and "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S"— has never gone out of print in the CD era, or any other era for that matter; but the CD that is currently available is a full 20 years old, and, to be kind, the sound on that release is showing its age. So, we have given it a fresh remastering by Vic Anesini at Sony's Battery Studios, and added two holiday themed songs ("Snowflake" and "Scarlet Ribbons") to this Expanded Edition to make it, er, "14 Songs of Christmas"! Steve Harmon contributes brand-new liner notes to accompany vintage photos. A Christmas classic, sounding bigger, better, and even warmer than before!
