Disco de George Strait: “Classic Christmas”
 Descripción (en inglés) :
Recording information: Starstruck Studios, Nashville, TN.
<p>One of the most consistent and reassuring presences on the country charts since his mid-1980s breakthrough, George Strait makes a characteristically low-key contribution to the holiday album with the excellent CLASSIC CHRISTMAS. As the title suggests, this set consists solely of traditional Christmas favorites, ranging from the hymnal "We Three Kings" and "Silent Night" to more playful tunes like "Jingle Bells" and "Up on the Housetop." The songs are performed in Strait's familiar neo-traditional country style, making CLASSIC CHRISTMAS a guaranteed winner for fans.

- GEORGE STRAIT IS THE KING OF CHRISTMAS
George Strait is the King of country music, now he is the king of country Christmas. From his first two Christmas albums to this one, he has done a true country album with his first one, and he did classic albums with his second release and this cd with traditional Christmas songs. Any Strait fan will love these songs sung by their favorite artist and bring back memories of all of our Christmas' past and the excitement of those to come. 2 personas de un total de 2 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Don't blink... aw, you missed it.
On "Classic Christmas", Strait's 3rd Christmas effort, I get the impression that George just didn't try too hard when putting this CD together for Hallmark as "Fresh Cut Christmas". All of the numbers are pleasant and George swings them in his usual style but I really think George could have done better by his fans: clocking in less than 26 minutes "Classic Christmas" seems a bit like highway robbery. George says he had a hard time narrowing the track selection down to 10, so I wonder why he felt the need to do so especially with most of the songs running less than three minutes. Also with the short running times you don't have much opportunity for interesting arrangements or solos from the supporting musicians: these are brief, no frills, "strait"-forward renditions with NO surprises.
Still, when it comes to Christmas music, I guess I'd rather 25 minutes of George Strait than 80 minutes of Transiberian Orchestra. Strait, as always, is in great voice and makes it all sound effortless so what is here sounds great. But if you want a George Strait Christmas CD I recommend starting with 1999's
or 1986's
both of which are available at budget price and provide more music for your $. (If you've already got those two you might as well throw this one on the CD changer too.)
(NOTE: Also available:
oddly contains ALL 10 tracks from the 1999 effort and throws on 2 tracks from the '86 release. But I'd pass on "Collection" and, for a little extra money, get the other two.)

- Good music, bad CD - Beware Zune buyers
When I tried to load this CD to my Zune account it downloaded an old GS Christmas CD from 2003. But, when you play it from the CD drive it plays the 2008 songs. My wife downloaded the CD to her iPod, and it indicated there were two separate CD's on this one; the old 2003 songs and the new 2008 songs. Nice that iPod noticed two, but it is worthless to me and my Zune account since I purchased songs that I cannot listen to. Never has happened before.
But, the songs are great. So, if you are buying for your CD player I highly recommend it, but if you are buying and expecting to download to your Zune...do not buy it as a CD, download the MP3 songs directly.
