Christmas Songs by Sinatra
Ol' Blue Eyes always put a little something extra into songs that really meant something to him, and the music of the holidays clearly held a special place in his heart. While he recorded many of the titles on this collection before, Sinatra's diehard fans will certainly want to hear these alternate versions of well-known recordings such as "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" and "White Christmas." It's also heartwarming to hear that one-of-a-kind voice matched to the regal backing of "Adeste Fideles" and the crystalline choir that joins him on an impassioned reading of "The Lord's Prayer." An interesting set, but probably best suited for completists.--David Sprague
