Classic Christmas Album [2013]

Photographer: Randee St. Nicholas.
Holiday albums are a subgenre all their own, with a brief sales window each holiday season, offset by the fact that these albums are generally economical and easy to produce, often featuring hymns or carols that are in the public domain, and they can be reissued each holiday season for years, and sometimes even decades, all of which makes them far from a loss leader. This seasonal set features select tracks from holiday releases by Barbra Streisand, including her versions of "I Wonder as I Wander" and "Christmas Lullaby," among others. ~ Steve Leggett
