Christmas Through the Years

Christmas Through the Years features Louis Armstrong performing a variety of holiday songs, many of them novel rather than traditional. Velma Middleton joins Armstrong for "Baby, It's Cold Outside," and Bing Crosby joins him for "Gone Fishin'." Other featured songs include "Cool Yule," "White Christmas," "'Zat You, Santa Claus?," and "Winter Wonderland," in addition to six others. This album should delight those who appreciate Armstrong's work, and should also delight those who appreciate novel variations on holiday music.
