"Mr. Velvet" - Jim Reeves
|
If you're looking for a way to relax, unwind, and get yourself into the Christmas spirit, here's probably the best way to do it. Beg, steal, or borrow - but find yourself a copy of the JIM REEVES' 12 SONGS OF CHRISTMAS album, then kick back your feet and let the velvety-smooth voice of the King of crooners melt all your troubles and anxieties away. Described as having a voice like "someone who walks through snow but leaves no footprint" , this is absolutely the best Christmas album of all time. First released in 1963, it's been a perennial favourite ever since.
You'll probably have to track down the original CD on the internet, but the 12 Christmas songs are on an album called THE JIM REEVES CHRISTMAS SONGBOOK, which mixes them with some of his gospel songs (slightly diluting the pure Christmas effect in my opinion). Never mind, this can be overcome by programming your CD player to play only the 12 Yuletide tracks - available now at your local HMV store.
