HERC covered the Classic Soft Rock series a few months back but he saved Classic Soft Rock Christmas until today. Time-Life sourced the heavy lifting out to Rhino Special Products division for this 2007 collection of Christmas music performed by some of the more well-known practitioners of the soft rock arts. The least played track on the CD here at The Hideaway is Jon Anderson's take on "Jingle Bells" - it runs barely half a minute and is sung by Jon's then five year old daughter, Jade, who grew up to a recording artist herself.
