Glen Campbell - "Christmas With Glen Campbell" (1971) - Capitol Records
Hello Friends,
This 1971 Capitol Records release is a bit of a hatchet job. It's a record with only five Glen Campbell holiday tunes, most of which already appeared on Campbell's 1968 album, That Christmas Feeling. The rest of the tunes on this LP are pretty much filler courtesy of The Holiday Pops Orchestra and a choral group who call themselves The Voices of Christmas.
Still, Campbell's takes on "I'll Be Home For Christmas", "Silent Night" and Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen's "It Must Be Getting Close To Christmas" are alone worth the price of admission!
RATING: 3 wives charcoal broiling steaks coming up with dishes they'd refuse to make* out of 5
* These are actual lyrics in the song "It Must Be Getting Close To Christmas" which also includes the humdinger:
Suddenly your slightest wish is their command,
And all at once your favorite things are close at hand,
And suddenly Lombardo is their favorite band,
It must be getting close to Christmas...
