Ho, ho, ho!! Funny how the world is divided between people who just love Christmas music, and those who loathe it with an almost equal fervor. Me? I guess I fall somewhere in the middle... There are those countless songs that are simply great to sing along with, and yet Christmas music (and the rampant commercialism of the season) inexorably lends itself to the worst and cheesiest impulses among oh, so many artists... Country music brings its own unique spin to the sentimentality and nostalgia of the season, and there's no shortage of Tannenbaum twang to choose from... Let's take ourselves a gander!

Ben Keith "Seven Gates: A Christmas Album" (Warner Brothers, 1994)
(Produced by Ben Keith, David Ferguson, Gene Rabbai & Neil Young)
Toby Keith "Christmas To Christmas" (Polydor, 1995)
(Produced by Nelson Larkin, Ron Reynolds & Harold Shedd)
Perhaps not his best album. Recorded towards the acrimonious end of Toby's stint with Polygram, this disc has some pretty standard-issue, lackluster arrangements, and, boy, did he sound like Jimmy Buffett back then. It's nice that many of the songs were new, but they also tend to be fairly overwritten and on-the-nose, like the homelessness tearjerker, "Santa I'm Here," an issue song with its heart in the right place, but a snoozer as a pop tune. Not that great, really.
