5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 6 Nov 2008
This is a great sounding album. The main reason I wanted it was two of my favourite Elvis tracks:

MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY
This is an incredible version. It actually is longer than the original so had Elvis singing some licks I had never heard before. The new music track is amazing although I did miss a ripping guitar solo in the break. But the female singer dueting here with Elvis has an incredible voice. Elvis sings the whole song and she adds sizzling blues runs behind him. The whole effect is one of the best blues tracks I have heard. Seriously, buy this album just for this track.

SANTA CLAUS IS BACK IN TOWN
This is a rockin blues from 1957. This version stands up against the original. It is amazing. The whole effect evokes Christmas in a brothel (not that I have ever spent Christams in a brothel). It's that stripper beat. This track is an Elvis classic and should be in everyones collection. You will not stop playing it.

The rest of the tracks are just great Christmas tracks and if you like that sort of thing you will not go wrong with this album. If you don't like that sort of thing then just buy it for the two tracks above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, Yes, Yes! Fresh sounding Christmas tracks from the King!, 20 Nov 2008
By Nicholas Blackman (Norfolk-England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I LOVE this album, so if you only read a few lines of this review I say go ahead and buy this FABULOUS album! However, for those interested here's my quick track-by-track guide:

Blue Christmas was always one of my faves and it sounds great here with a nice extra reprieve of the last 8 bars. Their vocals aren't exactly synchronised at all times but it doesn't detract from things.

I'll Be Home is again nicely done and at 3:36 a lot longer than the original with a really nice instrumental added.

I think Elvis's voice is slightly swamped on Here Comes Santa Claus but not bad.

Santa Claus Is Back In Town is a great song and Wynonna does seem to add something which seems to make it sound even more exciting!

Silent Night for me is a little messy as Sara does do some odd alternate tune stuff but it still sounds good.

White Christmas to me sounds fab with some really nice harmonies & a rather amusing sort of ad-libbed "Come on now big boy" towards the end!

I love Merry Christmas Baby and again Gretchen's ad-libs are great. What's even better is that it now lasts 8:06! It now has an even better-sounding backing to me.

Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem is a very pretty version with a much more contemporary backing track with a punchy bass (not just the organ as before). Karen and Kimberley add some lovely harmonies between them and it now has much more light and shade which I have to say I prefer to Elvis's original!

Silver Bells now sounds good to me! I always found Elvis's vocal on the original annoying; laboured, slightly slurry and he sounded completely uninterested in the song. They have done some very good work on this and seem to have very subtly changed the vocal track and allowed Anne to sing parts where his voice was particularly weak or shaky; the result is he now sounds pleased to be singing it and it sounds brilliant!

Next is the Olivia NJ duet version of O Come All Ye Faithful. They've added a few extra beats here and there and it now flows much better. I appreciate the crescendo at the end which I love as it now sounds more like an Elvis song ending!

The First Noel now has a tasteful string quartet and piano which sounds much better than what was previously just an organ plodding on in a rather pedestrian fashion! Again it is amazing what they have managed to do with Elvis's vocal on this track as they turned what I felt was a lack-lustre warbly effort into a great performance!!

If I Get Home On Christmas Day on the face of it sounds very similar until you play them both at the same time and flip between the two versions. Again I don't know exactly what they've done but the vocal is now greatly improved! I challenge anyone to listen to the original and then play this "remastered" version and not be blown away! Listen closely in particular where his vocal comes in at the 12 second point until about the 35 second point and then play the "remastered" version straight away; it really is amazing what can now be done with a dodgy vocal and it makes the original sound like it's been slowed down! The whole song is now a lot fuller and richer - Great job!

Winter Wonderland now sounds incredible with the organ and backing vocals subtly added but some of the original's clarity has been lost; however, when you play it after the "remastered" version is does sound very bare!

I have been an Elvis fan for more than thirty years, and yes I have all the remastered Sony/BMG albums/boxsets & the FTDs, but I am extremely pleased with what they have done here; we finally have some new fresh sounding Elvis material and I think it bodes very well for the future!

Buy with confidence!
