This is a fabulous CD - my favorite one to listen to during the holidays. I just hit the "repeat" button on the CD player and let it play through every song over and over again for hours. There isn't a bad song on the whole album! These Christmas songs, with a big dollop of big-band swing, will keep your toes tappin' and your head boppin'. You will not be able to stop yourself from singing along to these fun songs... Plus, Brian Setzer just kicks butt on that guitar! (Smokin' man!) I have way too many Christmas decorations, and every year I dread dragging out all those boxes and decorating for hours on end. But when I pop in my "Crazy Christmas" CD, time flies and this chore seems a lot more fun. Even my kids ages 13, 10, and 8 love this CD and dance in the living room to it. This one really throws you into the mood for Christmas! I've owned this CD for a couple of years... I've since bought this album for a couple of friends and relatives, and they love it -- it's a "can't miss" gift!Read full review
I think this CD is really good, but not as fine as "Boogie Woogie Christmas"... Howewer I consider it as a beautiful - like all the BSO CDs - album, and if you want to have a good Christmas CD, don't balk and buy it! 1. Dig that Crazy Christmas is really a big band hit! Very rhytmical, fast and feastful!!! 2. Angels We have heard on high is a egregious remake of the famous christmas song - but play in rockin' style - GOOD !!!! 3. Gettin' in the Mood is the same of the one in Vavoom, but it's sung with different words - christmas words 4. White Christmas is a slowly song very deep, typical of the Christmas Period. 5. Let is snow let is snow let is snow is really fun, great big band style 6.Zat you santa claus is a mysterious song, pretty good! Brian interprets really good. 7. Hey Santa! is typipical big band song -- REALLY GOOD-- 8. My favourite things -- instrumental - good 9. You're MR grinch is the song i think is the worst in the album - but it isn't so bad...but i prefer the others. 10. Cool Yune is really amusing!!wonderful!! 11.Jingle Bells Rock is the famous song, played by Brian - it says all - BEAUTIFUL REMAKE - good like the original (or better??) 12. Santa drives an Hot rod could be considered as anaemic but it isn't so!Good Song 13. What are you doing new year's eve is a WONDERFUL BIG BAND HIT!!beautiful ...so buy it!!! It a really good album.Read full review
I have to say that I have not enjoyed Rock and Roll recordings as much as I have Brian Setzer's Dig That Crazy Christmas! I had forgotten about Brian's music until I saw him jam with Paisley on Country Music Christmas show. And, lo and behold, Brain out jammed Paisley by a landslide. It was all Paisley could do to keep up with Brian and his musicians. Dig That Crazy Christmas CD is as good:, great rhythm, good beat, could understand the words by Brian and just couldn't get enough of his guitar picking, he is so good and when you see him in person, it looks like a piece of cake, he is so relaxed and so at ease with his guitar! The sound system on the CD is really very, very good. BUY ONE OR ANY OF HIS CD'S AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY!
Brian delivers another Christmas gem that will brighten your holiday music collection. "Dig That Crazy Christmas" brings classics in a swingin' big band-style, along with new or litte known songs that will song become favorites. Brian's arrangements are the main reason I personally love his Christmas CDs. His ability to maintain a traditional heart-felt feel for a classic song while fusing his own retro style all the way through is almost genius. On a personal note, I love "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch". If you grew up with the original cartoon, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", you will appreciate reliving this song and maybe even catch yourself laughing at some of the off-the-wall lyrics. Once again, another 'must have' CD in any Christmas collection by Brian Setzer and his orchestra.
