His deep voice is perfect for joyful holiday songs, be they religious or secular. But what really makes Christmas With Scotty McCreery stand out is the young singer's fresh perspective: He transforms "Jingle Bells" into a slinky little rockabilly number with finger-snaps and honky-tonk piano, and it totally works! A huge Elvis fan, he nods to The King on the rollicking "Santa Claus is Back in Town"; and "The First Noel," "Let It Snow," and "O Holy Night" make the most of his lower register. One of the best Christmas releases of 2012.
