Our Review:
From the twinkling lights to the bustling crowds, from the Santa at the Mall to the Christ child in the manger and the Christmas Eve Midnight Services ... I love just about everything Christmas ... especially the music! When I was given the chance to review the new Rod Stewart Christmas Album, "Merry Christmas,Baby", I jumped at it! Tonight I sat down and put the CD in the stereo, WOW! Rod Stewart has an amazing voice and this CD really shows it off! From songs that we all heard growing up to the newest songs of today this album does not disappoint! From the wonderful arrangements of each song to the sound of all the wonderful voices of the artists involved in the making of this CD there is not one note out of place. There are solo's by Rod Stewart as well as duet's with other well known artists. I truly enjoyed reviewing this CD and know it will be one that will stay on the Junkyard Christmas CD Playing list for a very long time! I highly recommend you add it to your Christmas CD Collection!
