Free Music Notes for I Wanna Be Santa Claus
Free Music Review: This is actually a great album believe it or not
Hit: 5 Stars
I have tons of Xmas music. A lot of it is bad and very little original since Phil Spector's Christmas. Would I put this in the top 10 all time Xmas albums. No. Would it make the top 10 for rock? Yeah. There was alot of originality put into this.
Real Noteworthy Tunes:
"Little Drummer Boy"- it's different enough that I like it
"Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"- very 70's Rudy
"The Christmas Dance"- another different tune
"Dear Santa"- this is the best Xmas song I've heard in I don't know how long. Ringo shares a writing credit on this.
"White Christmas"- Carribean style, steel drums & all... start pouring the booze with this tune.
A must buy for a Beatles fan.
I Wanna Be Santa Claus Poster
Forget that Ringo was the funny Beatle. For our purposes, he's the Christmas Beatle. Ringo is the only member of the Fab Four to release an album of holiday music and, if this 12-song collection is any indication, Richard Starkey has certainly found his niche. This elegantly sparse production finds Ringo re-roasting old chestnuts such as "Winter Wonderland" and "White Christmas" with his zany, playful, rollicking sense of humor. Jazzy flourishes, rockabilly piano, and Scottish bagpipes go a long way toward lifting these classics out of mothballs. And the skinbeater in him makes "The Little Drummer Boy" irresistible. Even better are the six songs he and Mark Hudson (of the Hudson Brothers) penned for the disc, especially the sophisticated "Christmas Eve," which conjures up the ghost of Cole Porter. Aerosmith's Joe Perry provides soaring guitar work on two cuts, while former Eagle Timothy B. Schmit provides candy-cane sweet vocals throughout. As an added treat, Ringo covers the Beatles' "Christmas Time is Here Again." --Jaan UhelszkiPop Music CDs
