Variety of Christmas Carols in Albums This Year
Mary Campbell AP News features writer reports on new and notable Christmas carol albums. Barbra Streisand leads with a dramatic mix of secular and sacred songs on A Christmas Album from Columbia. Ella Fitzgerald’s Christmas on Capitol leans too heavy on chorus and orchestration but shines on Silent Night. Julie Andrews’ A Christmas Treasure on RCA showcases versatile tone and 14 well-loved carols. Ingvar Wixell and Ed Ames lead the male vocal lineup with Swedish and English carols. Pete Seeger’s Traditional Christmas Carols on Folkways offers 13 folk tunes with verses and singing notes. Pleasant selections include Mike Douglas My Kind of Christmas and classic Capitol tracks, with nostalgia and strong instrumentals. Notable detractors include Lou Rawls Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho and Santa’s Own Christmas for overlong explanations and uneven delivery. Floyd Cramer’s piano jazzes up We Wish You a Merry Christmas on RCA.
