Album Review: Various - 100% Hits Christmas 2014

StarStarStarStar

More than a stocking stuffer.

Ever wanted to hear Cliff Richard, The Pretenders and Cee Lo Green on the one Christmas album? Santa’s got you covered with 100% Hits. A mix of traditional (O Holy Night by Michael Crawford and Natalie Cole’s awkward take on Jingle Bells) and contemporary (Rob Thomas’ A New York Christmas, Boyzone’s surprisingly good The Hour Before Christmas) works really well. Richard’s Let It Snow and country musician Morgan Evan’s Paul Kelly-meets-John Williamson It’s Christmas Time are highlights, thankfully dulling Jewel’s awful version of Joy To The World. More than a stocking stuffer.
