Let It Be Christmas
Unlike 1993's classic Honky Tonk Christmas, which was almost entirely original tunes, 10 of these 11 tracks are well-known holiday favorites. But one of the highlights of that 1993 release was Jackson's cover of Burl Ives's very familiar "Holly Jolly Christmas," which he subsequently made his own. Jackson's warm, soothing voice also works wonders here, with the arrangements doing their part to transform this into yet another yuletide classic. In fact, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is one of the most touching versions ever recorded. Be it a semi-jazzy "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," the honky-tonk piano on a rousing "Jingle Bells," a gorgeous acoustic-based "Silent Night," or "The Christmas Song" delivered with a pleasant twang, these tracks deserve perennial play. --Bill Holdship more

- Excellent
"Let It Be Christmas" is an excellent album. It includes the title song, which was written by Alan Jackson. A great addition to one's Christmas Album collection.

- Letdown of the year
I just got Alan's new Christmas album. It's the letdown of the year. I've been a AJ fan since day one, but this album is a disapointment. Strings and horns ain't what you expect from this Honky Tonk icon. Buy the first Christmas album...
