Dylan sings Christmas
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 | Holidays |
His Christmas album could be under your tree this year.
One of my guilty pleasures is Christmas albums by pop stars - Aaron Neville, The Beach Boys, James Brown, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Liberace, Elvis, Frank Sinatra…
Frank Sinatra’s Christmas album is extremely well done and not at all campy. So is Aaron Neville’s. Those guys can sing, with Sinatra more formal and Neville more soulful. I like both as low-key background music on Christmas Eve.
Elvis has a few camp moments, but the guy really could sing and he has great production. He’s also the only performer here with original Christmas songs that became standards.
Liberace defines camp, but after buying his Christmas album in the bargain bin I’m amazed at how much I like his piano and string arrangements.
