While my CD collection doesn't include very many Christmas CDs, the ones that I do have are definitely favorites. Most of the Christmas CDs I have are those of a single artist, but I do have a couple of collections, such as Country Superstar Christmas II.
This collection is very eclectic with Honky Tonk, Traditional, and Spiritual styles are represented here.
George Strait starts out the album with the Western Swing-influenced "When it's Christmas Time in Texas," which is great fun.
But I must say that the actual reason I bought this particlar album was due to the Suzy Bogguss song, "Two Steppin' Around the Christmas Tree." The song makes you want to get up and dance. I just love it!
No Christmas would be complete without Vince Gill singing anything at all, but "I'll Be Home for Christmas," is one of his best. And Vince's wife, Amy is included singing the lively "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year," another favorite.
This album is one that you can start listening to in early October and keep on listening through the entire Christmas season.
