While there is a generally accepted queen of Christmas, the title of Mr. Christmas is still vacant, or was. Call it a self- fulfilling prophecy, but I cannot see another artist using this moniker, other than Brett Eldredge.
While there are a lot of pleasant original tunes in his canon, and he has a good track record when it comes to his full-length albums, I wasn't the biggest fan of his debut holiday record. However, I appreciated the album for what it was. There was this Glow that seemed to surround him when he performed these classic songs, as well as the eponymous original. You could tell that he was enjoying every bit of it....
...so much that he compiled another collection of yuletide covers, with some new audio ornaments, to adorn this tree to support his case as Mr. Christmas. While I don't believe another record was necessary, I happened to appreciate this one more than its predecessor, and somehow forgot of his main competitor, Michael Buble, and his firm stamp on the genre with his pleasant covers and even better holiday originals.
