Album Notes The folks at Time-Life should know how to put together a collection of holiday music, they've been doing it for a long time. Attesting to that legacy is the fact that many of the tunes on TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS reach back to the golden age of American pop music. This generous two-disc collection is dominated by chestnuts (forgive the pun) by the likes of Bing Crosby ("Do You Hear What I Hear"), Nat "King" Cole ("Hark The Herald Angels Sing"), and the irrepressible Dean Martin (the carefree "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!"). However, it's not all old news on this compilation. More modern areas of pop music are explored by Eva Cassidy ("It's Not the Presents Under My Tree") and Greg Lake ("I Believe in Father Christmas"). No matter the era, though, TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS is consistent in its presentation of top-notch Yuletide fare.
