AMG Review of Very Best of Burl Ives Christmas

Heather Phares
All Music Guide

The Very Best of Burl Ives Christmas delivers exactly what the title promises -- some of the best holiday songs from a performer well-known for his Christmas albums. Ives' charming takes on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Silent Night," "Winter Wonderland," "Silver and Gold," and, of course, "Holly Jolly Christmas" make these songs perennial Christmas presents.
