CD Review: Classic Christmas - Billy Gilman

line Classic Christmas - Billy Gilman
line

This CD is very aptly named in that it's packed full of Classic Christmas tunes, plus two newer songs. One of these is a beautiful song originally recorded by Keith Whitley, "There's A New Kid In Town," which Billy really sings well. The second is one written for this release by producers, Don Cook and David Malloy called "Warm & Fuzzy," and it's a song that is perfectly suited for him.

Another special song included here is the duet that Billy recorded with Charlotte Church. They sing the classic, "Sleigh Ride," and it's a true joy to listen to. There are times when you have to listen carefully to tell which of them is singing, but Charlotte's classically trained voice stands out.

If I had to pick a favorite, I'd have to say, it's a toss up between "The Christmas Song," and "Winter Wonderland," although "White Christmas" is really good too. Actually, there isn't a *bad* song on the disk. This is truly one that you can listen to while wrapping presents, entertaining guests, or just in the mood for some holiday music.
