Frank is great, Dean is pretty good, but we need more Sammy - By: , 04 Dec 2004 
Do not worry that you are going to be subjected to the sound of Peter Lawford singing Christmas songs, because "Christmas with the Rat Pack" leaves the singing to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, & Sammy Davis, Jr. The Chairman of the Board & Dino get eight tracks each, with Sammy only getting three, & then the trio sing the last two songs together & live. As you would expect, this is a Christmas album for those who are looking for something a bit stronger than eggnog when they are trimming the tree.
Martin gets to cover the hip seasonal songs, like "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," "Baby It's Cold Outside," & "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" while Frank does more of the religious songs, such as "The First Noel" & "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." All Sammy gets to sing is "Christmas Time All Over the World," "The Christmas Song," & "Jingle Bells." Martin gets to cover "Silver Bells," "White Christmas," & "Winter Wonderland," so he makes a strong showing on this album. Sinatra, as you would expect, shines most on songs that show his finely honed vocalization skills, such as "The Christmas Waltz," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," & "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
Obviously it would be nice if Sammy was thrown a few more crumbs, & you can argue the album would hang together better if they cut the couple of songs Martin sings that really sound like he is holding a martiniin one hand. Fans will probably not care, but there are a few tracks that seem to run a bit more against the grain than some of the others, even though Martin milks them for all they are worth. The cover is an "Ocean's 11" inspired image that had the "11" with a couple of candy stripes & then a shot of the three kings of holiday singing.
