Kringle's Capsule Reviews: Roy Rogers, Marian Aas Hansen, Venice
Christmas is Always by Roy Rogers And Dale Evans
Delightfully nostalgic reissue from Capitol finds singing/yodeling cowboy Rogers and his wife melding the best of old school Christmas pop with Rogers traditional country twang and a touch of down home spirituality.
Listen @ Spotify | Preview / Buy Christmas Is Always at amazon.com
It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas by Marian Aas Hansen
First rate collection of jazz tinged holiday standards from Norway's Marian Aas Hansen. (Though the slight lyric mis-translation in the title cut throws me off every time I hear it.)
Listen @ Spotify | Preview / Buy Sleigh Ride
Christmas with Venice
Cool, laid back California harmony meets classic Christmas standards on this terrific collection from the unfairly not hugely famous Venice. As close to a CSN (or CSN&Y for that matter) holiday album as you're likely to get yet, at the same time, wholly Venice's own.
