DJ's Choice: Tribute To Tony Bennett Christmas

Here is a fabulous cd that was released recently that I think I may even enjoy more than Tony Bennett's own, SNOWFALL: THE TONY BENNETT CHRISTMAS ALBUM from 1968.

The singer on this cd really does sound like Tony Bennett and the backing music and chorus brings this christmas release back to the 1950's/1960's era. However, there are no liner notes telling us who the singer is or just who anybody is. But make no mistake, this is the real deal in 'traditional crooner christmas music.' The unique thing about this cd is that all the songs are songs that Tony Bennett didn't record on his 1968 christmas album (though a couple of them were recorded by Tony Bennett at other times).

On this spectacular recording, you'll find songs such as SLEIGHRIDE - ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE - WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS - IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR - LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW and several more for a 10 track cd. It may be hard to get as it sold out really quickly last christmas but you may find a copy on Ebay or some other place. Make sure you check it out. I'm already calling this a christmas classic.
