Review Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics / Various:Blue Yule is without question one of the hippest collections of rhythm & blues Christmas music ever assembled. The disc boasts the likes of Louis Jordan, John Lee Hooker, the gospel-powered Pilgrim Travelers, and Johnny and Edgar Winter, as well as the likes of Detroit Junior ("Christmas Day") and Canned Heat ("Christmas Blues"). Lengthy even by contemporary CD standards, this 18-tracker also includes Charles Brown, Big Jack Johnson, Roy Milton, and the inscrutable Lightnin' Hopkins wishing you both "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year. " But perhaps the set's greatest gift is also it's strangest-Sonny Boy Williamson's "Santa Claus," a rousing midtempo blues-rocker with a biting harp break and weird, funky lyrics about Sonny Boy going through his wife's drawers. -Martin Keller.

Review Motown Christmas Carol / Various Artists:Although this collection does borrow a handful of tunes from A Motown Christmas, it actually betters its predecessor by cutting out some superfluous tracks and adding several stellar performances by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles-judged by many to be the label's greatest male vocal group. Smokey and company positively shimmer through their contributions, highlighted by "Away in a Manger" and a lovely rendition of the little-heard "Coventry Carol. " The Temptations and Jackson 5 are also well represented here, as are Diana Ross & the Supremes, whose version of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" is heard for the very first time on this album. -David Sprague.
