...work isn't nearly so likable. Asked "Are there any musicians or groups today that excite you?" Morrison responds, "No. Absolutely not. It's all been done, you know?" In that and other responses to TIME's questions, Morrison comes off like a bitter old man - not the soulful troubadour I imagined him to be. Holley Aufdemorte, Murrells Inlet...

At 71, Johnny is certainly the season's most consistent troubadour, having done Christmas albums in 1958, 1963, 1969, 1986 and 1993. Stick with the first, which matches Mathis' clear, confident tenor to a familiar batch of seasonals. A camp highlight is "Sleigh Ride," in which Johnny unleashes a falsetto, tres gay "Yoooo HOO!" The numbers get lush, warming orchestral support from...
