AMG Review of Christmas [EMI-Capitol Special Markets]

Jason Birchmeier
All Music Guide

Christmas features holiday-time favorite Peggy Lee performing 11 perennial classics, including such longtime favorites as the album-opening "Winter Wonderland," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Little Drummer Boy," "White Christmas," and "The Christmas Song." In addition, there are a few other songs that aren't quite as well-known but still get wholehearted renditions by Lee. Overall, a solid collection of holiday music with a nice balance of longtime favorites and surprising obscurities.
