Emily: Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I really enjoyed this album. Phil Spector's artists take classic Christmas songs and put a '60s Motown-style spin on them, plus a couple new songs of the season. Although the arrangements aren't traditional by any stretch, the fun and poppy sound of the album has made it a Christmas classic. I can see it being a great soundtrack to any Christmas party or celebration - even if your idea of celebrating Christmas is movies and Chinese food :)
Favorite Tracks: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Darlene Love; White Christmas - Darlene Love; Winter Wonderland - Darlene Love
Zack: Well loyal readers, it is that time of year again and we thought we would celebrate by reviewing a certain famous Christmas album on the list. This album was made long before the so-called “War on Christmas,” in a time when the song White Christmas meant simply that minorities would be chased away by the neighborhood watch. This is America, the so-called land of the free, and I refuse to sing to people “and may all your Christmases be white!” Most of the songs on this album are well-known Christmas classics that really just make you want to sit down by a fire with a cup of hot cocoa and be exploited by rampant market-capitalism. After all, ‘tis the season. From both of us here at 1001 Reviews, have a happy non-denominational winter holiday season!!!
Favorite Tracks: Winter Wonderland - Darlene Love; Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes; Frosty the Snowman - The Ronettes
