Wayne Newton- Songs for a Merry Christmas

DSCN3152So Thanksgiving is over and Christmas season has officially begun.  I think it unofficially began sometime in October.  Anyway, with the season comes Christmas music and for better or for worse, that is what Donkey-Show is doing this month.  And what a better way to start it off then the man who inspired the name of this blog, Mr Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton. This was $3.00.

This album is pretty standard fare from Wayne.  Well sung songs with his trademark style.  Oddly enough, when I first saw Ferris Bueller, I thought it was a woman singing “Danke Schoen”.

DSCN3153This album has all the classics and is pretty good as far as Christmas albums go.  high points include “Jingle Bell Rock”, “The Christmas Song”, “Rudolph” and “Silent Night, Holy Night”.

For a sample, I went with “Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow”.
