Kicking things off this year is a terrific recording by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians. My record is a 1973 release of "Jingle Bells" by MCA, although it appears to be a re-release. At any rate, it's a terrific collection of 12 songs by Mr. Lombardo and his orchestra. Featured vocalists include Kenny Gardner and the Lombardo Trio, Richard Geary, Tony Craig, and, on "Winter Wonderland", the Andrews Sisters!
The arrangements are superb, making this a very enjoyable and nostalgic record. A highlight is "Christmas Chopsticks", track 6, which closes out Side 1 of the record.
Please enjoy "Jingle Bells" by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians.
