The ever-expanding soundtrack to Christmas gets rocked again with the new must-have holiday release a Very Special Christmas 4 - Live from Washington, DC. Capturing all the excitement of an exclusive benefit concert for Special Olympics, this latest set of holiday covers and original songs spotlights an extraordinary array of superstar talent: Eric Clapton, Run DMC, Vanessa Williams, Tracy Chapman, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Jon Bon Jovi and John Popper.
"A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 4: Live" continues the "Very Special Christmas" series, which benefits the Special Olympics. This volume was recorded live in Washington, D.C. and features performances by Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Run-D.M.C., Jon Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Vanessa Williams, and Tracy Chapman. Blige and Crow duet on "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," while Bon Jovi performs two lovelorn holiday songs -- "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Christmas, Baby Please Come Home." Clapton teams up with Chapman on a version of her hit "Give Me One Reason," and with Crow on "Merry Christmas Baby." Run-D.M.C. performs "Christmas in Hollis," and Vanessa Williams turns in a rendition of "What Child Is This." All the performers appear on the album's final song, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," representing this benefit album's spirit of goodwill and teamwork. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
