EDITORS’ NOTES
Hip-O Records’ outstanding Christmas compilation offers up a diverse collage of Christmas carols spanning genres. Easily the most swingin’ carol here belongs to the gravely voiced Louis Armstrong whose “Cool Yule” boasts some stellar horn playing. Burl Ives’ “Holly Jolly Christmas” will fly you back to the Island of Misfit Toys from the 1964 stop-motion special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
