A new classic holiday record that sounds like a classic Rat Pack Christmas album?
Yes, Please!
Recently I purchased the Michael Bublé album appropriately titled Christmas. I have been listening to it nonstop since Black Friday. (There is a strict rule in my house that we do not decorate, wrap presents, or start to celebrate the Christmas holiday until the previous one, Thanksgiving, has ended.) The album is full of classic Christmas songs in the same nostalgic fashions of Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. While there are a few new favorites, such as “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and Bublé’s original song “Cold December Night”, the record feels like coming home for the holidays.
I want to focus for a bit on the rendition of “Jingle Bells” on the album. Mr. Bublé is accompanied by The Puppini Sisters on this song. If you do not know these ladies, Google them right now! Then go to iTunes and buy one of their albums. While they have their own sound, I can’t help but feel like these women are The Andrews Sisters reincarnate. This track is probably my favorite one on the whole album. It is definitely worth the cost of the album, be it on amazon.com, iTunes, or if you actually have a record store still open in your town.
In conclusion, if you are as obsessed with an old fashion Christmas as we are, you’ll love Michael Bublé’s Christmas. Listening to the male version of “Santa Baby” will put a smile on any girl’s face. This record truly puts you in the spirit of the season!
