Various - A Very Special Christmas 2

Review by Jisell Arlene Sánchez Troncoso

A Very Special Christmas 2 is a compilation album featuring various artists, released in 1992. The album is the second in the series of the A Very Special Christmas albums, which was created to support the Special Olympics.

The album features a mix of traditional and contemporary holiday songs, performed by some of the biggest names in music at the time. The album starts off with a bang, with Bruce Springsteen's rendition of "Merry Christmas Baby," which sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Other standout tracks include U2's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," which showcases Bono's powerful vocals, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Christmas All Over Again," which is a fun and upbeat rock song.

The album also features some touching and emotional tracks, such as Madonna's "Santa Baby" and Tracy Chapman's "O Holy Night," which are both stripped-down and heartfelt.

How good-looking was Sinead back then?

When you hear this you realise just how foolish the audience was at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert when they booed the stuffing out of Sinead instead of shutting-up & letting her do her thing with this song.

Most Dylan songs sounds much better when performed by someone else, and this is one pf the very best. Truly wonderful.
