Excellent Christmas CD It's full of beautiful, and traditional Christmas music. This is true John Michael Montgomery. .

His vocalizing lends well to Christmas songs although he doesn't sing them as well as a John Berry or Martina McBride. I've always been a big fan of John Michael Montgomery so I was very excited when he put out a Christmas album. "December 1943" is the story of the American and German soldiers taking a break from the fighting in World War II. Most of the rest of the songs are classics. This is a very good album to put on while writing out your Christmas cards, baking cookies or socializing with friends.

just so pleasant on the ears
i shall not harp on too much. . the old traditional songs are very nicely sung and orchestrated. . . . JMM's voice as ever is wonderful. . . but there are a few more things that make this record so special. . . "december 1943" is such a great storytelling song. . . . the string arrangement on "o holy night" is colossal. . . and his co written finale "a daddy's prayer" rounds off with his own kids singing "jesus loves you"
not a long record at just on 39 minutes. . but its quality stuff!!!.
Nice commercial country offering
But he is well-suited to the style, with a smoky, relaxed delivery and a comfortably delivery that lets him stretch out and melt into the lyrics. The country content lies almost entirely in Montgomery's rumbling voice, enveloped in thumping, piano-heavy, big band-ish arrangements and swooping pop-vocals strings'n'horns. If you like corny poppish holiday albums, this one's pretty good. The original songs on this album include "December, 1943," about a soldier's holiday on the European front line. . . It's sappy and pleasantly compelling.
A MUST buy for all music lovers!!!
Snowman cd in my possession for two weeks and just getting a chance to listen to it today, my only regret is that I have missed out on two weeks of absolutely incredible music. After having John Michael Montgomery's Mr. From the first song (Winter Wonderland) you start yearning and reminiscing of the holiday season. By the time you hear O Holy Night you will be amazed and astounded by the powerful voice and talent that this man has. That talent, combined with the big band and jazz sound will make you wish it was Christmas time year round. This cd is one of those that should be considered a classic (in the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Elvis) and a must for all music lovers, not just country. "My Christmas Wish" is that John Michael writes, sings and produces more albums in the near future that are as awesome as "Mr. Snowman" is.
