"While this is definitely a departure from what we're used to hearing from Gary Puckett, it's no surprise that he recorded such a collection given the fact that he's a born-again Christian. If anything, his voice has gotten better with age & this CD is additional proof of his versatility as a performer. In addition to rock & ballads, he's performed blues, country, & just about everything else in between with the exception of rap & opera. This is a CD I'm looking forward to playing while decorating the Christmas tree. I still play it from time to time even now, because the music is really timeless. Nice work from probably the nicest guy in the music business!!"

"To the 2 very critical reviewers of this Gary Puckett Christmas CD. HELLO! THIS IS A CHRISTMAS CD!!! It's not the Union Gap and it's not a pop / rock CD. Gary Puckett is a world class singer - with or without a horn section / band or orchestra. Any true music fan will recognize the great talent exhibited on this CD and relish the Christmas music. If Christmas music in general or these particular songs are not your cup of tea - that is understandable. But come on people, if you are going to cticize - base it on the intent of the project and something meaninful.



This CD is well produced, is sound musically and Gary's voice is the same powerfull, passionate and velvet instrument it has always been. While each of the tracks of this CD will heighten your Christmas spirit, "Oh Holy Night" is a particularly brilliant rendition of this traditional favorite This CD is a cherished part of my large Christmas CD collection. This would make a fine present for the reader and his or her family and friends."

"This is quite a good CD from a talent who has been with us for a number of years now. Puckett's voice was rich and full in his heyday (1967-71), and it has aged like a fine wine. He was about 59 when he did this Christmas album.



My only regret is that he did not have a full orchestra and a few backup singers (and/or a guest vocalist) behind him. It would also have been fun if he had done a cut or two with some kids. But such is the nature of the music business, in which mature talent often goes unrewarded unless it is seen as "bankable".



This is a simple and beautiful collection of holiday favorites. It ain't The Union Gap, but we've all grown up a little in the past 35 years, haven't we? Enjoy!"
