Music Monday / CD Review: Golden Records- A Very Merry Golden Records Christmas

a very merry christmas cd cover


As you know, we LOVE Golden Records on this blog, and in our family! We should, we've been listening to them for THREE generations!

Golden Records was one of the first and ultimately most successful children’s record labels in America. Grammy Award-winning producer Arthur Shimkin imagined the iconic label in 1948. Through rich orchestration and the use of A-list talent, Golden Records created a timeless, one of a kind sound, releasing beloved songs and stories that entertained and educated children for decades.

Back by popular demand, Golden Records has returned to release a series of highly anticipated albums, launching a series of instant classics and remastered original recordings to come. Award-winning music producer Tony Shimkin, son of Golden Records creator, Arthur Shimkin, has carried on his father’s legacy, producing each of the releases, reimagined for the child in all of us!

Last Tuesday marked the release of their latest holiday release, the fifth in the new series: A Very Merry Golden Records Christmas! The album is packed with 20 classic songs and stories that combine the beautifully orchestrated original recordings with the talent of today’s biggest and brightest stars. Children and parents alike will love Golden renditions of "Twas The Night Before Christmas," "A Christmas Carol," "Frosty The Snowman," "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Winter Wonderland," and many more traditional holiday classics. Malin Akerman, Ed Asner, Wallace Shawn, Missi Pyle, John O’Hurley, Cheryl Hines, Dermot Mulroney, Busy Philipps, and Didi Conn bring to life all of your favorite holiday classics.  Take a listen to this sampler:



Isn't it a relief to know you can have a cd of CLASSIC Christmas songs, sung without worry as to what has been 'added' by the newest, hottest singer? This cd is one you can keep in your car, on your phone, and playing at home throughout the whole season, with no worries as to who is listening to it! Kiddo absolutely adores the Reindeer Dance song on this cd! It's hysterical to see her dancing along to it! And Ed Asner's rendition of Twas the Night Before Christmasis perfect to read along with, with your child! We LOVE this cd and we know your family will too!


The cd is available at WalMart Stores, on iTunes and Amazon among others.
