Released in 1963, The Christmas Spirit was Johnny Cash's first full-length holiday-themed album. Featured were four original songs by Cash, along with eight covers including takes of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day," "Silent Night," "Blue Christmas," and others. This is a solidly enjoyable entry from Cash, and a must-have for die-hard aficionados of the country icon. ~ Matt Collar
