Snowfall: The Tony Bennet Christmas Album
TITLE: SNOWFALL: THE TONY BENNETT CHRISTMAS ALBUM (COLUMBIA)
ARTIST: TONY BENNETT
STARS: 5 OUT OF 5 STARS
SOUNDS LIKE: HEY, IT’S TONY BENNETT. 'NUFF SAID
There are some people who just seem like logical choices to make a Christmas CD. Artists whose voices are such a part of the American fabric makes it almost a requirement.
To say the least, Tony Bennett is very much one of those artists. His warm, smoky tenor is deeply woven into the American musical fabric.
He has the uncanny ability to puts his definitive touch on standards, making them his own while keeping true to their original compositions.
On “Snowfall,” Tony does 11 of the most popular Christmas standards including, “My Favorite Things,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” and “White Christmas.” And his voice sounds as warm and relaxing as a Christmas evening snowflake. It’s just the right tonic for those cold December nights.
“Snowfall” also comes with a bonus DVD featuring selections from the TV special “Tony Bennett: A Family Christmas.”
