Nice Mix of New and Familiar Holiday Songs

Review Score: (10/10)
Aaron Tippin's A December To Remember effectively combines modern favorites tailor-made for his blue collar twang like " Jingle Bell Rock" and "Run Rudolph Run," traditional hymns such as "Away In A Manger" and "Silent Night" that showcase the lower regions of his burly baritone, plus seven great new songs, most of which are co-written by Tippin and wife Thea. The new tunes cover a wide range of holiday-related topics, from the romp "It's A Good Thing Santa Ain't Single" (a humorous take on Santa as a gift-giving stud muffin) to the poignant "He Said That He Was Jesus" (detailing the true story of a homeless man who claimed that he was Christ). Overall, it's a well-balanced, nicely executed collection.
