Acoustic guitar Christmas music!

"If you love acoustic guitar music, take a listen to this. The duet with Dr. John on "Frosty the Snowman", never a song that I loved, is unbelievable. I'm not a cat lover (in fact, I'm a dog person!), but take a listen to "Kitty Cats' Christmas". It's just great music. There are a variety of instruments on the different songs: harmonica, upright bass, dobro, violins, banjo, drums, percussion, didgeridoo, trumpet, piano and sax. Then there's Leon's voice. I love it. How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea? How'd you like to hang your stocking on a great big coconut tree? This CD will take you there in the song, "Christmas Island". Highly recommended for acoustic music lovers."
A memorable and engaging Christmas collection

"Leon Redbone's voice is so distinctive, and he has created a wonderful collection of Christmas favorites, all in his unique bluesy style. This is one that I've had in vinyl for many years and I'm so delighted to see it in a CD format. Yule love this one!"

"I had the first version of this CD but just had to buy it again for the extra track. This CD is always in heavy rotation at home and at work over the holidays. It really is a marvel. Warm, quiet, and ever so slightly droll -- what more can you want for holiday music?"
Comfortably Christmas

This CD is definately one of my Holiday favorites - right up there with a warm fire and eggnog!
From the first time you hear it, Leon's engaging confidant delivery makes every one of these songs sound like a Christmas classic you've known all your life.
When friends are over for the Holidays and this CD comes on they always smile and ask who it is - a collection to be comfortably enjoyed by all, a true Holiday Delight!"
A must have Christmas CD

"Leon Redbone's Christmas CD is in my top 5 favorite Christmas albums.
I didn't even buy it, someone gave it to me and I'll be forever thankful.
I often put Leon's CD in repeat mode in my CD player.
Listen to the music samples in Amazon. You'll know immediately if this one is for you (I bet you'll love it - It's magical)
