RICHARD'S CHRISTMAS SHOP

The straightforwardly-named Disney's Christmas Lullaby Album includes a dozen gentle renditions of holiday songs, both traditional and original, by pianist / guitarist Fred Mollin. Aside from a few strings, twinkling chimes, and airy flutes, it's just Mollin and his piano and guitar. His performances of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "White Christmas" are equally wistful and restful, creating a cozy holiday spirit. Other highlights include "Winter Wonderland" and "Angels in the Snow." While this collection probably won't be giving Vince Guaraldi's Christmas album any competition, Disney's Christmas Lullaby Album is still a pleasant, comforting holiday album.
