CD Review: Rod Stewart: Merry Christmas
HAVING cleaned up on the old American Songbook front over the last few years, former rocker Rod Stewart now lends his gravelly tones to some Christmas classics from Santa Claus Is Coming To Town through White Christmas to Auld Lang Syne along with special guests Mary J Blige, Cee Lo Green and Ella Fitzgerald, though she hasn’t been with us for some years.
Just as you would expect there are a couple of funkier moments and Rod’s voice is just perfect for this sort of thing.
4/5
