This Is the Time: The Christmas Album
Bolton covers all the yuletide basics. There's a rocking version of "Santa Claus Is Coming Town," a solemn reading of "O Holy Night," and there is even a duet with opera master Placido Domingo on "Ave Maria" that. In addition to the eight Christmas clasic renditions by Bolton, there are two original songs co-authored by the singer. Both tunes sound like they belong nestled among these Christmas classics. Bolton fans could hardly dream of a better stocking stuffer.
