Review

Thirteen years after the release of his first holiday album, Merry Christmas Strait to You, George Strait brings nostalgia and a sense of familiarity to his second spin on the yuletide season. Merry Christmas Wherever You Are offers up more than many other country Christmas albums -- it actually evokes the Christmas spirit. From seasonal standards like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Let It Snow" to appealing renditions of Brenda Lee's "Jingle Bell Rock" and Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song," this album is certainly one you'd like to find wrapped under the tree on Christmas morning. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia, Rovi
