Review

Kathie Lee's 1993 Christmas album isn't a terrible album, but about what you'd expect from morning TV's obnoxiously sparkly former hostess, right down to the guest appearance of former co-host Regis Philbin on "Silver Bells" (a duet that reduces the song to about the level of Alvin & the Chipmunks). Kathie Lee perkily tweets through a set of standards that have pleasant, unassuming charts and clean, clear (if unbearably soft) production by Jim Ed Norman. ~ Steven McDonald, All Music Guide
