12 Songs of Christmas (Remastered & Expanded Edition)
Has there ever been a warmer voice than that wielded by Gentleman Jim Reeves? That light, warm baritone helped change the face of country music, helping to usher in The Nashville Sound with a series of albums and singles produced by Chet Atkins. He is without a doubt the greatest country crooner of all time'and of all his releases (and there are a lot of them'the Bear Family label's collection of complete commercial recordings spanned 16 CDs!), his 1963 holiday album 12 Songs of Christmas just might be his most enduring. Now, this record'which features such holiday evergreens as 'An Old Christmas Card' and 'C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S''has never gone out of print in the CD era, or any other era, for that matter; but the CD that is currently available is a full 20 years old, and, to be kind, the sound on that release is showing its age. So, we have given it a fresh remastering by Vic Anesini at Sony's Battery Studios, and added two holiday-themed songs ('Snowflake' and 'Scarlet Ribbons') to this Expanded Edition to make it, er, '14 Songs of Christmas!' Steve Harmon contributes brand-new liner notes to accompany vintage photos. A Christmas classic, sounding bigger, better, and even warmer than before!
