Once Upon a Christmas

As originally released, this album had six duets and four solo tracks - two each by Kenny and Dolly. I note that the version currently available in America has just nine tracks (confirmed to me by an American friend who has seen it), the two excellent Kenny Rogers tracks (Silent night and The Christmas song) being replaced by Dolly's Hard candy Christmas (which, despite its title, is not a Christmas song). I checked my local store and the UK version still has the original track listing. Dolly's two solo offerings on the original album - White Christmas and a medley of Winter wonderland and Sleigh ride - are both excellent.

This album has been around for many years and I have thought it to be one of the best albums for the season since the first time I heard it,long ago. I think that Dolly and Kenny sing wonderfully together and should do more albums together. this is just realy a great album and I hope others enjoy it as much as I do.

This will always be my favorite christmas cd by far. I wish Kenny and Dolly would do another one. The songs are just so amazing, you won't regret buying this cd at all.
