  • We Say...

    It wouldn't be Christmas without Elvis, and like another totem before him, Bing Crosby, his contribution to the Noel songbook not only color-codes the most heart-tugging of holidays, but does it in tinseled style. His tremulous voice is particularly suited to classics like "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas" even as the trajectory of his career could lend itself to New Testament interpolation. It is rare that a performer becomes a tradition, and so he is here, as decorated tree and present 'neath.

  • They Say...

    RCA/Sony BMG's Elvis Christmas collection features all of the tracks from the King's 1957 Christmas Album and 1971's Elvis Sings the Wonderful World of Christmas. The former is a classic, boasting "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" and his peerless rendering of "Blue Christmas," while the spotty 1971 release relied on soul and country-inflected standards like "First Noel" and "Silver Bells."
