This is arguably the finest rock and roll Christmas album of all time. Recorded in 1957 at the height of his artistry—when he truly could be called the King of Rock & Roll—this album demonstrates Presley having a lot of vocal fun with a variety of styles, whether it's a carol ("Silent Night") or pop standard (Gene Autry's "Here Comes Santa Claus"). He does one of the greatest versions of "White Christmas" ever recorded, basically using the Drifters' version as a blueprint—and then singing all the parts himself. His "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is definitive—but the best moments are the "new" tracks written specifically for this release, including the classic "Blue Christmas," Lieber and Stoller's "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" (one of the most sexually suggestive holiday tunes ever), and the wonderful, pop-based "Santa, Bring My Baby Back to Me.
