Christmas Time Again Lynyrd Skynyrd
Good mix between old and new Christmas songs. This is one that if you enjoy this band you will like it. .


Christmas Time Again
I wanted to buy a copy for a friend. Have owned a copy of this CD for several years. Amazon offered immediate delivery and had the best price.


A great rock n' roll Christmas CD
So many talented people from this band have passed away yet they're still a good rock n' roll band and this is a good rock n' roll Christmas CD. First, can we stop arguing about this being the "real" Skynyrd? Of course it isn't, but it's a stupid thing to get angry about in a CD review. They do charged up versions of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and Run, Run, Rudolph", there are ballads like "Christmas Time Again" and "Mama's Song" and they have fun with songs like "Santa's Messin' With the Kid" and "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'". They even go honky tonkin' with "Skynyrd Family". Throw . 38 Special and Charlie Daniels into the mix and you have a Christmas CD that will have you dancing and singing along.


Whats with you people??
Plus, you people aren't real music critics, so take it easy folks!!! And so what if the band carried on with the same name??? We're still getting great music (most recently "Vicious Cycle") People don't criticize AC/DC for replacing their vocalist! The Doors have a new vocalist! Kiss, Days Of The New, Judas Priest, Even Metallica have all gone through line up changes, so whats with all the criticism?? Enjoy this for what it is. I think people need to chill out with all the harsh reviews!!! This was just the guys having a good time. . . The band trying to do something fun and special for the fans for the holidays!! If you dont like it, dont listen to it!!! Thats why there's a stop button on your cd player!! I think this was a pretty creative idea and a good listen for any Skynyrd fan.


The Rossington-Powell Band Christmas Album
Three pre-plane crash members (guitarist Gary Rossington, keyboardist Billy Powell, and bassist Leon Wilkeson) are credited on the cover, but if you examine the lineups listed for each song, Wilkeson (who has since passed away) is not listed on a single song. There seem to be plenty of people out there who are willing to accept this band as Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I am not one of them. The band now includes a collection of members of other defunct bands like Blackfoot, the Outlaws, and Damn Yankees, as well as original singer/songwriter Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny. This disc features many additional session musicians and a children's choir, and one song each by the Charlie Daniels Band and . 38 Special.
OK, so whether or not this is the "real" Skynyrd, the question is "Is this a good Christmas CD?", and the answer is "Sort of. " The best song on it is CDB doing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", and there are some other good traditional songs and more recent rock/blues covers. Billy Powell is still an incredible piano player, and the current crop of guitarists are all solid musicians. Johnny Van Zant seems to be trying too hard to sound soulful with his "mmm-hmm's" and "ohh-whoa's", especially on the few original songs. The worst songs are the cheesy instrumental "Classical Christmas" and the synth-heavy "Greensleeves" that sounds more like Yanni than Southern rock.
