For the most part, Christmas albums are boring – how many times can one endure listening to the same old songs, after all – yet when such a record comes from Mickey Thomas, it’s a good thing simply because the last solo offering from STARSHIP singer appeared as far back as 2011. Of course, “Marauder” was followed by a digital-only single “A Classic Christmas” less than a year ago, but now it’s been expanded to a full-length record: also titled “A Classic Christmas” and scheduled for release on CD on November 15th.
What previously contained only two pieces – “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” – is augmented with six more seasonal chestnuts. Not a lot, and the titular repetition is hardly a wise decision; however, it’s a physical product now, so there’s a tangible, pardon the pun, difference.
1. It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
2. I’ll Be Home For Christmas
3. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
4. An Old Fashioned Christmas
5. The Christmas Song
6. Silver Bells
7. My Favorite Things
8. White Christmas
