Title: Good, but several "live" cuts
Review: I got this CD when it first came out in 2001. While I like the overall music and such, they should have called this "A Very Special Christmas Live 2" since several, if not most of the cuts are live. In most cases, the result is good to fantastic. My favorite songs are:This Christmas - Macy GrayBlue Christmas - Jon Bon JoviRun Rudolph Run - Sheryl CrowBack Door Santa - John Popper & B.B. KingLittle Red Rooster - Tom PettySilent Night - Stevie NicksWhite Christmas - Darlene LoveStevie's live version of Silent Night is quite good. I don't know why people are knocking Darlene Love's White Christmas, which is a studio cut. Of course she's not going to sound the same as she did in 1963 - nobody is. But she can still belt it out, as she proves every year on David Letterman's show. Bottom line, a CD with variety, studio and live cuts, mostly holiday tunes and a couple not holiday related. Plus the proceeds go to Special Olympics, so you do a good deed if you get this.
