MUSIC REVIEW: A Christmas Together by John Denver and the Muppets

A Christmas TogetherTitle: A Christmas Together
Artist: John Denver & The Muppets
Original Release Date: October 1979
CD Release Date: 2000 and 2006

This is one of my favorite Christmas albums.  I consider it to be a classic.  I'm pretty sure the first time I heard this was on one of my Dad's 8Track cassettes.  Having heard it so much during childhood, it really became part of our Christmas traditions.

It definitely has a "folky" feeling.  There are some beautiful original songs on the album, as well as your typical Christmas songs.  Most of the songs feature the Muppet's voices and John, but a few are just John, or just the Muppets. My favorite version ever of "The 12 Days of Christmas" is on this album.  I always tear up when I hear "A Baby Just Like You" which is a ballad that John wrote for his son Zachary.  My brother's name is Zac, so it was always extra special for us.

I highly recommend this album.  I would consider it to be a must-have.
