"Chaise Lounge performs a blend of music that sounds like it was recorded at Capitol Recording Studios in 1962 and somehow found its way to today’s pop charts." So begins the sextet's bio at their web site. And, normally, you'd have to take such things with a huge salt lick. But, in the case of Chaise Lounge, the bio speaks the truth. The Washington D.C. group, at least on this Christmas offering, has captured the spirit and sound of 50s Lounge Pop artists perfectly. Names like Doris Day, Dorothy Collins, and Rosemary Clooney are bound to come to mind listening to this set, many of which were popular songs of that era. "The Man With The Bag", "Cool Yule", "Mister Santa". This is a perfect album for someone looking to flesh out their traditional Lounge albums with something fresh yet familiar. Did we say fresh? The true highlights of this album are the all new original songs--"December 25", "The Heart Of December" and "Snow Day"--that sound even more classic than the classics. As a special treat, we get a rare cover of Jimmy Charles' fun hit "Christmasville USA". And, if you want to go in for the full nostalgia trip, "A Very Chaise Lounge Christmas" is even available on vinyl, direct from the band. This is very much one to enjoy for many Christmases to come.
