craivios's Full Review: Merry Christmas by Johnny Mathis
Johnny Mathis has made over a dozen Christmas albums in the last 6 decades. I listened to parts of most of them online. Of all of them, Merry Christmas - Johnny Mathis remains my favorite.
My mother bought this album when it was new. Johnny Mathis was at the height of his popularity. She played it every year when I was a child. Beyond the nostalgia, Johnny's voice is clear and lively. As much as I tried to love the other albums, I really enjoy the collection of songs chosen for this album. Sleigh Ride, Silver Bells and O Holy Night really stand out.
The reason it is still possible to buy this album after 46 years is that Johnny Mathis does a masterful job of singing traditional Christmas songs.
