Album Review: Judith Durham - It's Christmas Time

Unfortunately for baby boomers Judith Durham's It's Christmas Time offers nothing particularly new this Festivus. Following on from a tough period where Durham was hospitalised with a cerebral haemorrhage, the release is clearly meant to coincide/cash-in on her return to touring. The newer tracks here are pretty good, like Hark The Herald Angels Sing, O Happy Day and the mariachi-flavoured album highlight, Bambino. But 13 of the 17 tracks come off Durham's 1968 post-Seekers album, For Christmas With Love, although fortunately, her youthful voice smashes out these Chrissy favourites, especially a sensational version of Amazing Grace.
