    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    When was the last time you heard collard greens being sung about in a Christmas song? Probably never, unless you're a Run DMC fan, or were wise enough to hop on the Very Special Christmas tip. The rappers' contribution to this benefit collection is probably the highlight, although traditional songs covered by now-traditional artists like the Pretenders ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas") provide the majority of the material here. Eurythmics turn in a suitably chilly "Winter Wonderland," Stevie Nicks sings a beautifully haunting "Silent Night," and Whitney Houston proves again that she's every woman with "Do You Hear What I Hear"--that is, every woman with a voice strong enough to do the song justice. "Santa Baby," Madonna's contribution, isn't as sultry as it could be, but there's more fun thanks to hell-on-heels, the Pointer Sisters and Bon Jovi. --Steve Gdula

    3 out of 5 stars A Very Special Christmas cd   January 8, 2009
    Stephen M. Cannon
    I have always loved this tape, and now I am so happy I finally have it on cd. It includes some hard-to-find gems like: Sting's "Gabriel's Message", and Alison Moyet's "Coventary Carol". I love it!


    5 out of 5 stars Great Christmas songs   December 28, 2008
    J. Harrison (Modesto, CA USA)
    I like most if not all the songs on this CD but really only purchased it for one song in particular. Madonna's version of "Santa Baby". I also love Run D.M.C.'s Christmas In Hollis, this song brings a light comedic feel to the album. U2's version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is always a good hart warming listen. The Little Drummer Boy by Bob Seger can bring a tear to the eye if your not careful. I was in high school in 1989 and these songs bring back a lot of memories. Finding this album here on Amazon now means I can share these memories with my family.


    3 out of 5 stars Good but Volume 2 is Better   December 9, 2008
    Tom George (Wash. DC)
    While I think it's terrific that alot of old chestnuts are revived and modernized in this collection, I find the second volume more pleasant, better songs and better performed than the first. Actually, you ought to get both!!


    5 out of 5 stars Little Drummer Boy   December 4, 2008
    internext (Windsor Locks, CT USA)
    The current track list is wrong! Bob Seger does Little Drummer Boy, not Katherine Davis.


    4 out of 5 stars Old Favorite   March 12, 2008
    Deborah K. Paz (San Francisco, Ca)
    The original "A Very Special Christmas". I remember buying the LP when it first came out and loved it so much that I decided to get the CD recently. Still a classic. Great Album.
