A Very Special Christmas 3

Part three of a series of records that benefits the Special Olympics, A Very Special Christmas 3 from 1997 is as excitingly eclectic as its predecessors. Though it features the likes of R&B chart toppers and hip-hoppers Mase, Puff Daddy, and Snoop Doggy Dogg and alt-rockers No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, , Blues Traveler, and others, the real standout performances belong to Jonny Lang, with his bawdy, barroom version of "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" and Sting, who delivers a proper reading of that old English carol "I Saw Three Ships." The showstopper, though, is Natalie Merchant's "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" in an arrangement so rich and compelling it may top even the many five-star versions of this African-American hymn that have come before it. --Martin Keller more

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-17-2006; Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins, but Oi to the world and everybody wins!; This is obviously the third volume in the highly successful Very Special Christmas series.

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-07-2003; This is "Christmas music"?; I was always a fan of this series even though I wasn't always a fan of some of the artists included in each compilation.
