 (7 Customer Reviews)
For some tastes, the production on Christmas with the Oak Ridge Boys may be a little too clean, but the Oak Ridge Boys are in fine form, singing a selection of familiar carols and new holiday tunes. For fans, it's a nice supplement to a collection, but anyone else will probably find the record a little average. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Oak Ridge Boys Christmas Songs | 1. | It Is His Birthday | |

My family has been listening to this record since my mother bought it in 1982. We are not what you call country fans but it really is the best Christmas Album. Our last record player finally broke in 1999, and every year we complain about not hearing this record on Christmas day. (It doesn't sound so great on my old Fischer Price portable player) So finally after years of searching I found the exact album.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Finally! One of My Favorite Christmas Albums on CD
I was 16 yrs old when I first bought this album. I played it over and over - and not only at Christmas time. A few Christmas classics sung by the Oak Ridge Boys plus plenty of original ORB songs inlcuding the hit "Thank God for Kids". My other favorites are "Paintin' the Town", "Happy Christmas Eve", and "Little One". If you like the Oak Ridge Boys, you'll like this Christmas CD.

| | Alabama Christmas CD (1985)
Christmas
$5.79  
Highlighted by the perennial "Christmas in Dixie," Alabama Christmas is a collection of holiday tunes counting among one of Alabama's strongest records, seasonal or otherwise; although at times the material is overly sappy. There's no mistaking the group's affection for the project, and cuts like "Happy Holidays," "Tennessee Christmas," and "A Candle in the Window" are all fine additions to the contemporary country Yuletide canon. ~ Jason Ankeny

| | Christmas With The Lennon Sisters CD (1961)
Christmas
$10.95 
While the Lennon Sisters will probably go down in history as a staple of the cheesy Lawrence Welk Show, the four sisters (Dianne, Janet, Peggy and Kathy) could sing, and, once upon a time, recorded a darn good holiday album. The origins of Christmas With the Lennon Sisters is a little murky, but the material seems to have been recorded (perhaps as singles) with Welk's help sometime before the 1961 Dot issue. Whatever its origins, the arrangements of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Little Drummer Boy" evoke a sound from the '40s and '50s, not the '60s, making this album a female counterpart to Gene Autry's classic Christmas recordings. While individual sisters offer fine lead vocal work, the group's specialty is lively harmony recalling the Andrews Sisters. Perhaps the shining jewel of an album that never misses is "Christmas Island," a song that paints a fun portrait of what the holiday might be like in a warmer climate (Jimmy Buffett would revive the song in 1996). Since the Lennon Sisters also passed as all-American girls next door, the album also has its share of religious material including "Come All Ye' Faithful" and "Silent Night." Of course, there are elements -- the tacky background singing by heavenly voices -- that show the album was recorded in a different era when different tastes reigned, but overall, the instrumental accompaniment is tasteful and never overshadows the sisters. In 2004 the album is hard to come by, but it remains one of the liveliest of holiday albums. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

Christmas
$7.79
20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection features the Statler Brothers' soothing harmonies on 11 songs of the season.

Any fans of the Statlers will want to add this disc to their holiday collections. ~ Al Campbell

| | Alexis Korner Kornerstoned: Anthology 1958-1983 CD (2006) (Import) United Kingdom
Christmas
$24.79
While MUSICALLY RICH...AND FAMOUS documents the second half of British blues godfather Alexis Korner's career, KORNERSTONED adopts a more comprehensive approach, following the pioneering singer/guitarist from the very beginning of his musical life, all the way through every subsequent phase of his development. So we get not only his mid-1960s work with burgeoning blues-rock giants like Paul Rodgers and Steve Marriott, but also his `50s skiffle recordings (basically the British version of jug-band music) with the Ken Colyer band and his own skiffle group, and even an early acoustic guitar duel with famed fingerpicker Davey Graham on "3/4 A.D." Over the course of its two discs, this collection examines pretty much every aspect of this seminal bandleader's historic career.
Gravel-voiced Alexis Korner is arguably the most important figure in the history of British blues - the inspiration for several generations of star musicians, from The Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin & beyond. This first-ever full-career retrospective spans everything from mid-50s skiffle to his final blues outings, via groundbreaking 60s R&B & his pop hits with CCs in the 70s. Two CD set. Castle. 2005.
| | Oak Ridge Boys Christmas Cookies CD (2005)
Christmas
$11.19
CHRISTMAS COOKIES presents the Oak Ridge Boys applying their beloved vocal harmonies to a 2005 set of holiday tunes. While time-honored Yuletide songs are here (including a rollicking take on "Jingle Bells"), the quartet also offers up the twangy, lighthearted title track and the warm, cozy "Back to Tennessee," making this fun disc an excellent stocking-stuffer.
The Oak Ridge Boys: Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, Richard Sterban (vocals).
| | Peter Rowan First Whippoorwill CD (1985)
Christmas
$11.19
The First Wippoorwill is a tribute album by Peter Rowan to his mentor, Bill Monroe, and it is one of the most moving salutes ever recorded in country music. It isn't moving purely in sentimental terms, either -- what makes the record so successful is how Rowan affectionately demonstrates his debt to Monroe with invigorating, lively performances instead of treating the music as a museum piece. Rowan assembled a crackerjack backing band -- featuring Buddy Spicher, Sam Bush, Roy Huskey Jr., Bill Keith and Richard Greene -- which helps him make one of the best, most focused records of his career. ~ Thom Owens
Personnel: Peter Rowan (vocals, guitar); Alan O'Bryant (vocals, tenor, guitar); Sam Bush (vocals, baritone, mandolin); Richard Greene (vocals, bass voice, fiddle); Bill Keith (banjo); Buddy Spicher (fiddle); Roy Huskey Jr. (bass instrument).

| | Bee Gees This Is Where I Came In CD (2001)
Christmas
$30.29
This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio files and multimedia computer files.
Additional personnel includes: Alan Kendall, Robbie MacIntosh (guitar); Alfredo Oliva (violin); David Cole (cello); Neil Bonsanti (clarinet); Ken Faulk, Jason Carder (trumpet); Dwayne Dixon, Eric Kerley (French horn); John Knicker, Joe Barati (trombone); Ben Stivers (organ, keyboards, programming); George Perry, Matt Bonelli (bass); Steve Rucker (drums); John Merchant (programming); Peter John Vettese (background vocals).
After years of high-gloss production, this album represents the Bee Gees' attempt to return to their roots; simple, harmony-based pop tunes recorded in a straightforward manner. Accordingly, many of the songs here are based around Maurice and Barry Gibb's own acoustic guitar strumming, and of course the trio's distinctive vocal blend. Nevertheless, this is hardly lo-fi stuff. Sophisticated keyboard and electric guitar textures and programmed beats are not in short supply; the roots retrenchment is more a mindset than an arrangement tactic.
While most of the tunes here seem to fall into the adult pop mode the group began mining in its post-disco phase, "She Keeps on Coming" is a rockabilly-tinged number that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Traveling Wilburys album, "Technicolor Dreams" is a quaint, vaudevillian song that harks back to the band's quirky baroque pop days, and "The Extra Mile" recalls the Bee Gees' mid-'70s soul balladry. Stylistically, THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN is more of a look over the shoulder than a giant leap backwards.
The Bee Gees created a body of work that represents some of the most popular music ever recorded and their songs are literally the soundtrack of an entire generation. Born in England and raised in Brisbane, Australia, the Gibb brothers - Barry, Robin and Maurice - became a teen-pop sensation by writing and singing melodic pop songs that spotlighted the trio's sweet sibling harmonies and dynamic songcraft. The Bee Gees are the most successful band of brothers in music history and remain the only recording artists to write and co-produce six straight US #1 singles. The Bee Gees' career includes seven US platinum albums, more than 60 singles charted, eight Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Song Writers Hall of Fame.
Includes 2 bonus tracks.
The Bee Gees: Maurice Gibb (vocals, guitar, keyboards, programming); Barry Gibb (vocals, guitar); Robin Gibb (vocals).
Producers: Robin, Barry & Maurice Gibb, Peter John Vettese.
