This is a definitive Christmas album, all that such an album should be with several familiar favorites and several less heard or new ones.John Denver bridges the pop-folk-country boundaries and gives us good doses of each.He opens with "Aspenglow", as typical Denver as you can get, and goes on with some familiar songs of the season, but also surprises us with new material. "Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" delivered in a strong country manner certainly isn't something you'll find on your typical Christmas album. The way it's delivered, it sounds almost autobiographical, and it sure is a song to make a person think.His original, "A Child Like You", is a real standout. Oh yes, that "Jingle Bells" delivered as an emotional, nostalgic ballad...Trust me, this is a Christmas CD you should have.
