Title: A Wonderful Christmas CD
Review: I don't ordinarily buy music by the Muppets or by John Denver, but my recollection of the special was still strong after so many years that I purchased this cd. It is well worth three times the price. Yes, you do have to put up with muppet voices on the songs, but for the most part, the voices work fine and even add to the songs' charms. The 12 Days of Christmas is usually a deadly recording, but the muppets put a life into it that is amusing and very satisfying. There is more here than "cute" stuff though. "When the River Meets the Sea" and "Noel: Christmas Eve 1913" are both great songs. John Denver plays it very low key and everythings works extraordinarily well. "Silent Night" is charming. This album is an easy listen for the holidays. A good balance of traditional tunes with contemporary songs gives the listener a nice 45 minutes of holiday spirit.
