| | Brenda Lee Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters CD Brenda Lee Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series Best of Brenda Lee: The 20th Masters Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 1999 collection Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree: The Decca Christmas Recordings. It contains all of the seasonal music Brenda Lee recorded for Decca Records between 1956 and 1965. Included is her initial Christmas single "Christy Christmas"/"I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus," along with the 1958 45 rpm "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"/"Papa Noel," the A-side of which finally became a gold-selling hit in 1960; the complete contents of Lee's 1964 LP Merry Christmas from Brenda Lee; and three songs, "White Christmas," "Jingle Bells," and "Silent Night," recorded in 1965 and included as bonus tracks on Japanese copies of the LP, but not released in the U.S. until 1999. The selections are a combination of familiar holiday fare done in Lee's inimitable style and a few attempts to join the pantheon of Christmas perennials. Only "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" succeeded, despite Lee having reached the charts with the ballads "This Time of the Year" and "Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day," but the surprisingly aggressive "I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus" is amusing, especially coming from a singer who was only 11-years-old when she recorded it. ~ William Ruhlmann

Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters album
$13.49
Perhaps best known as frontman for the Payola$ on their 1982 new wave classic "Eyes of a Stranger," Paul Hyde has spent the two decades that followed that song on the fringes of fame. But with his first-ever solo acoustic album, The Big Book of Sad Songs, his profile deserves to rise. This stellar, melodic collection of Celtic-tinged folk music in the vein of Richard Thompson and Ray Davies' Village Green-era gets underway with the haunting, stark life-observations of "Runner on the Seashore," before shifting to the contagious, bumper sticker-inspired keeper "I Miss My Mind the Most." The Yorkshire, England-raised, Canada-based Hyde's outlook on the world is as keen as it is real on "I Want You," a shimmering tribute to the irregular shaped majority residing outside of the media's obsessive eye, while gorgeously pensive moments like "Highgate" and "Forever Light Will Shine" are equally gripping. It's a rare occasion when Hyde stumbles, but the simplistic and quirky "The Smallest Coin in the Land" is one of those moments. Just the same, exemplary offerings like "The Maddest of the Mad," a reflective ode to an old punk rock drinking buddy, confirm the aging Hyde still has a lot of musical life left. ~ John D. Luerssen

Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters songs
$9.25
Following on the heels of his magisterial work with Miles Davis on BAGS' GROOVE, Sonny Rollins entered Van Gelder Studios with a fire-breathing quintet on August 18, 1954, resulting in four of the five selections which make up MOVING OUT. This session might just as well have been titled "Busting Out," because MOVING OUT represents a breakthrough for Rollins as a bandleader and an improviser.
Rollins really stretches out on the title tune and "Swingin' For Bumsy," playing with a new-found rhythmic command and ...
