It’s all about how children from different countries see Jesus a different way (a rather progressive idea). “Some Children See Him” is a fascinating song that I haven’t heard too much (although Rivers Cuomo does a cover of it(!)). “Christmas Holiday” is a song I don’t know but Williams belts it out as well.
The choice of “My Favorite Things” (from The Sound of Music) is unexpected, as it has nothing to do with Christmas, but his rendition is wonderful. His “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” is fun–he can really belt out those notes and “Silver Bells” is also a highlight. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is a bit slow, but “Winter Wonderland” sounds great. His “Sleigh Ride” is the essential version–boppy and fun–you can imagine zipping along on a sleigh with jingle bells bouncing along. I like his voice so much even if I don’t love all the songs on this record.
I don’t really know much about him at other times of the year and I imagine that I would never listen to him, but he is one of the voices of Christmas. Man, I love some Andy Williams at Christmastime. SOUNDTRACK: ANDY WILLIAMS-Merry Christmas (1965).
