The usually reliable Johnny Mathis has recorded several holiday albums over the years, and is an old established pro at these kinds of recordings.
Mathis works here with a number of different arrangers, but Bob Krosgstad is the only one barely able to keep the fire in this Yule log from going completely out.
And Mathis, who has never had what might be considered a strong voice, is especially ill-suited for the classical fervor attempted with the choir-assisted “Joy To The World.” “Heavenly Peace” follows this opener up with a little bit of smooth Noel jazz, which is something better suited for Mathis’ fragile voice.
