Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrific Modern Christmas CD
Comment: While I think both AVSC Cd's are pretty terrific, bringing old Christmas songs to whole new generations, I think this second volume is better performed , with a better selection. You just can't compare The Eurythnics singing Winter Wonderland to Luther Vandross's Christmas Song. And Ann and Nancy Wilson's version of Blue Christmas is now one of my favorites. Lot's of fantastic performances, puts me in the Christmas spirit every time I play it!!!

Summary: This CD Rocks!
Comment: This is the best of the series in my opinion. The Tom Petty original that opens the CD is worth the cost of the CD alone. It is the single best rock and roll Christmas song ever written. Ann and Nancy Wilson deliver a great version of Blue Christmas and the Randy Travis Jingle Bell Rock is the best version I have heard. Bon Jovi rocks, Luther adds a bit of great jazz and although I am not typically a fan of hers -- Sinead O'Conner delivers a beautiful version of "I believe in you". There are a few duds, including Run DMC and Michael Bolton, but the bulk of the CD has very strong performances making this a classic Christmas CD in my home.

Summary: fine second album in this series
Comment: A Very Special Christmas, Volume 2 brings us great Christmastime numbers by some pretty talented artists. This is a great follow-up album to the first volume in this series; and I recommend it for fans of holiday music.
Randy Travis does a spirited interpretation of "Jingle Bell Rock" with great percussion and electric guitar; Randy's excellent diction makes his performance all the better. One huge highlight of this album is Frank Sinatra and Cyndi Lauper teaming up for a duet of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." The arrangement sports that big band feeling and Frank and Cyndi never miss a beat! Moreover, listen also for Aretha Franklin's "O Christmas Tree;" this sweet number sparkles like gold when Aretha sings it.
Wilson Phillips performs an excellent version of "Silent Night;" but as other reviewers noted this album gets its strength from the duets including the one by Frank and Cyndi. Ronnie Spector and Darlene Love do it up right when they sing an electric rendition of "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree;" and Bonnie Raitt and Charles Brown team up for "Merry Christmas Baby." "Merry Christmas Baby" has a jazzy arrangement that'll keep you toasty warm this Christmastime!
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers do a good job on "Christmas All Over Again." This song really rocks!
The liner notes give us the song credits and the artwork is excellent.
Overall, this is one more Christmas CD you really can't afford to go without. This series is one of the better ones out there and I think you will enjoy this album very much.

Summary: It was pretty good.
Comment: The tract 3(Roasting on an open fire), tract 10(The White Christmas-by Michael Boton) and 15 (Sleigh ride- by Debby Gibson) were my favorites. It was pretty ggod, actually.
