Description

It may have been intended as a quick contract completer for old label Warner Brothers, but Clay Walker's Christmas ended up as his most consistent album to date. Walker leads off with four moving hymns/religious themed tracks, of which "Mary Did You Know? (with surprisingly effective spoken word final verse) and a choir accompanied, climax building "Go Tell It On The Mountain" are particularly inspirational. He moves on to modern classics, adeptly mixing sophisticated ballads ("I'll Be Home For Christmas," "Blue Christmas") with uptempo kiddie fare ("Rudolph, "Frosty"). These modern faves prominentlymore… feature lush, cozy 50s style background vocals (again, surprisingly effective). An ultra-festive "Feliz Navidad" (featuring Walker's typically spot on Spanish) concludes the album, leaving the listener smiling and wishing for more.As Walker is no longer with Warner Brothers, this collection has sadly not gotten any promotional push (the generic CD cover artwork lacking Walker's image doesn't help either). Spread the word, this CD deserves to be heard by all.
