Free Music Review: Country's All-Time Best Christmas Album
Hit: 5 Stars

Up until now, there have been only two perfect Christmas albums: Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song," and Johnny Mathis' "Merry Christmas." By perfect, I mean you can't find a song on those albums that is less than first rate.

Country music has never produced a Christmas album that could stand alongside those two classics. Collin Raye, John Berry, Vince Gill, Ricky Van Shelton, and Patty Loveless have come close. But Alan Jackson, with his "Let It Be Christmas," has turned the trick. This album is every bit as good as those all-time pop albums by Cole and Mathis.

Unlike his first Christmas album, which is very good in its own right, Jackson has put it all together here. The song selections (all classics -- except for the one penned by Jackson), the arrangements, and the production are flawless.

You won't find a single song that will disappoint you ... in fact, there is not a single selection that is less than outstanding.

You may be surprised to hear quite a bit of orchestral accompanyment in this album, but it works. LeAnn Womack also integrates lots of non-traditional country instruments in her Christmas album, but it doesn't work nearly as well as it does here.

"The Christmas Song," "Silent Night," and "Away in a Manger," are all challenging songs for a vocalist to pull off. Sing those well, and you can probably handle the other, less-demanding Christmas songs. Jackson produces wonderful versions of all three songs, and throws in equally pleasing versions of standards like "Jingle Bells," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and "O Come All Ye Faithful."

You can buy any number of Christmas albums. But only three are all-time classics. This is one of them.

Postscript: I wrote the above review in October 2002. Three years later (October 2005), this CD remains one of only three 'perfect' Christmas albums ever recorded. I just listened to each song again, and I'm still blown away by how good this is. My 7 year-old daughter, Katie, feels the same way.
