A Very Special ChristmasVarious ArtistsAlbumGenre: RockDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION V/A Very Special Christmas AMAZON When was the last time you heard collard greens being sung about in a Christmas song? Probably never unless you're a Run DMC fan or were wise enough to hop on the Very Special Christmas tip. The rappers' contribution to this benefit collection is probably the highlight although traditional songs covered by now-traditional artists like the Pretenders (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas) provide the majority of the material here. Eurythmics turn in a suitably chilly Winter Wonderland Stevie Nicks sings a beautifully haunting Silent Night and Whitney Houston proves again that she's every woman with Do You Hear What I Hear--that is every woman with a voice strong enough to do the song justice. Santa Baby Madonna's contribution isn't as sultry as it could be but there's more fun thanks to hell-on-heels the Pointer Sisters and Bon Jovi. --Steve Gdula
