Title: Christmas Memories: Remixed and Remastered (BFD/Orchard)

Tell me more: Acclaimed singer-songwriter Don McLean ("American Pie," "Vincent," "Castles in the Air") has released one of the essential holiday music collections of 2023. Christmas Memories: Remixed and Remastered features McLean's terrific original arrangements of a dozen Christmas favorites. McLean uses his signature vocals to bring warmth and bona fide emotion to all the selections. The disc opens with a delightfully retro take on "Blue Christmas" before showcasing his strong vocals on the mostly a cappella "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."

Other standouts include the compelling "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day," a jazzy "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," poignant acoustic-styled "Silent Night," and Renaissance-mining "The Burgundian Carol." "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" is particularly beautiful and McLean's version utilizes nuanced orchestration and a full choir to conjure up the magic of classic '50s and '60s recordings.
