Description
The half-second breath before “Chestnuts roasting” on The Christmas Song tells you everything: he’s about to glide, not belt. Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song collects his most elegant seasonal readings with Ralph Carmichael’s orchestra cushioning every phrase. You get the definitive title cut alongside reverent spins on O Holy Night and a sprightly Caroling, Caroling. Put it on for a small family gathering and the room just settles. On this pressing, the low end sits deeper and imaging across the orchestra is clearer. Strings, woodwinds and that gently brushed rhythm section separate in a way casual reissues rarely manage. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Nat King Cole records online with us. File it right beside Sinatra’s holiday set and the golden Capitol era, where warmth and poise mattered more than bombast. Standout moment for me is the quiet swell into “Fall on your knees” in O Holy Night, Cole holding back just enough to give the arrangement its shine. And when the light bells and strings lift Caroling, Caroling, he balances sentiment with just a hint of swing.
Available online now or in our Melbourne shop, an easy pick for any Nat King Cole fan.
