Ricky Van Shelton’s Blue Christmas is predominantly comprised of contemporary classics like ˝Silver Bells˝ and ˝Winter Wonderland,˝ with a couple of hymns (˝Silent Night,˝ ˝O Come All Ye Faithful) and a remake of his best known holiday composition (˝Country Christmas˝) filling out the lineup. Shelton’s voice has grown deeper and less supple since his hit-making run about a decade ago, but a tremendous warmth still radiates. For those who like their Christmas music familiar and unadventurous, this set should delight.
