Product Description
Just as irony is being pronounced dead, along comes the boozy holiday compilation Christmas with the Rat Pack, suggesting that rumours of its demise may be premature. Given the culture's simmering lounge mania, this collection (with its cheesy homage/rip-off Oceans 11 art direction) may be belated--but hey, punctuality was never these swingin' cats' bag, Jack.
The novelty of having three of the 20th century's most notorious sinners belt, whoop and sing the praises of sleigh bells, roasting chestnuts and the virgin birth would be enough to recommend this dizzy 21-track delight, but there's actually some rewarding pop archaeology here as well.
Two of the best tracks--Sammy Davis's ring-a-ding-ding romp through "Jingle Bells" and Dino's dreamy "Peace on Earth/Silent Night"--hail from a vintage, ultra-rare Reprise sampler. Sammy's typically over-the-top "Christmastime All Over the World" and Nat Cole tribute, "The Christmas Song" also make their CD debut.
Dino's holiday TV specials yield more unreleased rarities: Sinatra-Martin duets of the loopy "Marshmallow World" and a touchingly tipsy take on "Auld Lang Syne" that suggests the boys have shared more than one cup of kindness. --Jerry McCulley
CD Description
Sure, Bing Crosby might pop more quickly to mind when thinking of Christmas songs, but Frank, Dean, and Sammy had theirshare of Yuletide ditties as well, a fact effectively borneout by the holiday collection CHRISTMAS WITH THE RAT PACK. If you're sick of the usual pap that passes for Christmas music from all corners of the stylistic map, try something from the swingin' side of town. Really now, wouldn't you ratherhear such chestnuts (pun intended) as "Silver Bells", "The Christmas Song", and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" from the likes of these cats than some contemporary prefab pop or country cardboard cutout? Those aren't sleighbells you hear in the background, they're ice cubes clinking in a martini glass.
