Saw the video special Rod Stewart put on with all these songs - absolutely fantastic. He is and exceptional performer! This CD and the Video are on my list. He does a
duet' with Ella Fitzgerald in shadow of 'What are you doing New Years' is brilliant. David Foster arranging and on Piano with Mary Jane and Ce-Lo. . Highly recommend! Classy guy!

This is my new favorite Christmas Album! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Blue Christmas has always been a favorite of mine and I think this is the best version yet! I think the musical arrangements are superb and a perfect compliment to Rod Stewart's voice. Red Suited Super Man is a wonderful song and the sax just makes it that much better. I like every song on this CD, even those I normally skip on others, like Auld Lang Syne, I listen to them on this one. The addition of When You Wish Upon a Star seemed odd at first, but now it just seems right. LOVE IT!

I thought this effort was sub par, grating is the word that comes to mind.

Hard as it may be to believe, but Rod Stewart has gotten through five decades without succumbing to a holiday album. That streak ends in 2012 with the release of Merry Christmas, Baby, an easygoing and chipper collection of secular seasonal standards. A couple of carols are thrown in for good measure but these songs -- "Silent Night," "We Three Kings" presented as a duet with Mary J. Blige -- along with a mildly incongruous "When You Wish Upon a Star," slide by easily on the mellow big-band swing of the rest of the record. Song for song, Merry Christmas, Baby is very much of a piece with Rod's ongoing Great American Songbook series, with Stewart not straying ...
