If the record comapny's going to re-package Clint Black's "Looking For Christmas" CD with 2 new tracks, then I wish they'd call it "Looking For Christmas - Expanded Edition" (or something like that) so as not to mislead buyers into thinking that it's a whole new collection of Clint Black Christmas songs. It's really ashame that this is basically the same CD as "Looking For Christmas" because I thought that original CD was pretty lame. Others apparently share this perception as well since it's available used on Amazon for less than the shipping charge! Oh- but now with this really cool (sarcasm) expanded edition with 2 new songs and a new title, you get maybe 35 minutes of music instead of just 30. Evidently Clint didn't have time to record enough songs for a whole new CD. What a joke!

If you have not purchased a Christmas CD yet this season, do yourself a favor and purchase this one. I bought this last year and let a relative listen to it. I never got it back because it became her favorite Christmas CD. So, I bought a second one for me. I am not a country music fan but one can't help but like Clint Black and the songs on this CD which range in emotion from spiritually moving without being preachy to playful and childlike with imaginitive lyrics. The stories put forth in song should put a smile on your face and warm your heart during the Christmas season. If you are a fan of Clint Black, country music, country Christmas, or Christmas music in general, you should add this to your holiday listening list.

Loyal fans already have all their favorite artist's music, so let's make them pay full price to get two new songs.

Way to treat your best fans Clint!!!
