Years of Enjoyment It nice to have it on CD. I've owned this on cassette since its release, and its played many times during the holiday season.
Kenny Rogers Christmas in America is marvelous!!
This Christmas collection proves just that. I have admired the contributions Kenny Rogers has made in music through the years. The title track gets me a little emotional at times when I hear it. I do enjoy his rendition of Winter Wonderland. Good Christmas sounds from The Gambler!.
Best Kenny Christmas
I have this album from its original release on tape, and I was pleased to find it now on CD; also, it is because it came out at the time that CDs were young that "Christmas in America" has a reprise--on the tape, it's the beginning of Side 2. As another reviewer has already said, Kenny Rogers has released many Christmas CDs, and this is probably the best with "Once Upon a Christmas" with Dolly Parton a close second. It's also interesting to note that the title song was written by Dolly Parton. This is a great collection of mostly traditional Christmas songs sang as only Kenny can.
A Strong Christmas Collection
The title song is a very appropriate mix of patriotism and Christmastime-a seemingly odd combination that works very, very well. Kenny Rogers has released a plethora of Christmas albums, and of the ones I have this is the best.
Except for this genre-bundling selection which is reprised throughout the disk, all the other songs are well-known Christmas standards.
In addition to the title track's uncommon concoction, the disk also departs from the norm by featuring a snippet of this tune between all the other songs and having the music play constantly; there are no silent pauses between cuts.
one of the best Christmas albums ever
It has some of the best christmas songs of all time and Kenny Rogers does a incredible job on this album. I highly recommend this to anybody who loves Christmas music.
