With his deep, buttery voice and heart-breaking twang, Randy Travis could recite golf scores and make it sound soulful, so listeners are in for a treat on this 2007 collection of holiday classics and originals done up country-style. As on his pervious Christmas album from 1989, the new songs are as good as the chestnuts. The stand-outs here include a poignant "First Noel" and the jolly shuffle "Nothing's Gonna Bring Me Down (At Christmas Time)."
