With this Silver Anniversary Edition, Dawn Atkinson, who produced the first Winter Solstice disc, has gone back to her original concept of nontraditional seasonal music and novel arrangements of Christmas classics.

Merry 1940's Christmas »rank: 1397 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: :Christmas always has been and always will be an important holiday, but during the ’4Os it took on a special meaning. For some, it meant the cessation of hostilities and a chance for a good meal; for others, it was the time of the year when the pangs for a missing loved one were particularly acute. And as always, Christmas meant a celebration of spirit, family and—most importantly during that momentous decade—hope. We’ve collected 25 of ...

	The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection: Live & Swingin (CD & DVD) »rank: 1744 by: The Rat Pack 0ur Review: :Live and Swingin’ is undoubtedly for those who already own some of the guys’ worthier recordings. 0h, but the guys? Frank, Dean, and Sammy (or, as Jackie Mason had it on The Simpsons, 'the Candy Man!') For most anyone who cares, though, this is a must-buy item: a slightly edited version of the 1962 Villa Venice tapes along with a DVD that preserves a rarely seen, full-length serious/funny/anarchic Rat Pack performance from ’65.

A Christmas Gift Of Love »rank: 2469 by: Barry Manilow 0ur Review: :lt's refreshing to hear a version of 'Santa Claus ls Coming to Town' that doesn't reference the arrangement Phil Spector came up with on A Christmas Gift for You four decades ago. Barry Manilow's rendition was inspired by Bing Crosby's 1945 collaboration with the Andrews Sisters. And that pretty much explains where the artist is coming from on the majority of this holiday offering. This is a big orchestrated (and voiced) Christmas album, most of it well ...
