Synopsis

Amazon.com
This is your father's Oldsmobile! Packaging a handful of '60s entertainers all crooning Christmas tunes, Mob Hits, is a virtual Christmas setting of Oceans 11. Among others, there are tracks by Connie Francis, Vic Damone, Jerry Vale, Paul Anka, Bobby Vinton, and, of course, Wayne Newton (with a big band rendition of "Jingle Bells"). Dion's "Merry Christmas Baby" is a howler and Louis Prima's timeless "Shake Hands with Santa Claus" is probably this CD's highlight. --Martin Keller

3 Wise Guys Beware!
S Cook | 11/09/2000
(1 out of 5 stars)

"While there are a couple of gems from classic Italian swingers like Vic Damone, Al Martino and Jerry Vale, the rest of the album is full of second- rate singers and horrible versions of Christmas songs (Dion especially!). And how can you have a definitive Mob Hits Christmas Collection without the big paesans like Perry Como, Sinatra, Dean Martin or Tony Bennett???? This is one offer you can refuse!"
A great group of songs
S Cook | Dallas, Texas United States | 12/20/2000

"No this cd doesn't have Como, Sinatra, Martin or Bennett but none of the artists included are second rate losers. So if you're looking for a solid collection of Christmas classics with an Italian flare then this is the perfect disc. Of course it reminds me so much of my favorite little restaurant, perhaps I'm biased! Highlights include "We Wish You A Merry Christmas/Silver Bells", "Shake Hands With Santa Claus", and "Jingle Bells". The lesser of the tracks would have to be "The First Noel" and "Merry Christmas Baby" though neither are bad. If you're like me and just outright love Christmas music then you have to add this one. But if you're more a fan of "mob" music I'd maybe go for a Sinatra or Como holiday disc."
This sounds okay, but it has very little information with it

"This CD was a quick release in 2000 to go along with the popularity of the TV show "The Sopranos". The main disappointment with it is the lack of discography in the liner notes. There at least could have been the release dates listed for all the songs."
