It's a three-peat for the Philadelphia Eagles, or at least those members of the NFL team that have participated in this now-annual Christmas compilation series. As in the past, proceeds from the album and the associated swag will be donated to Philly local charities. The footballers, as in the past, tapped a number of celebrities to assist in this venture. Stevie Nicks shines as she assists in a credible cover of Ron Sexsmith's "Maybe This Christmas," Boyz II Men and KC Chiefs star (and Taylor Swift-dating) Travis Kelce help out an original, "It's Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights)," name-checking Kelce and brother Travis' home town, and former Philly local band Mt. Joy kick in with another original, "Santa Drives an Astrovan." Devon Gilfillian performs on the non-holiday "Having a Party" by Sam Cooke, Immanuel Wilkins joins in on a straight jazz "Sleigh Ride," and the third original features Kylie Kelce, Jason's wife, on the country ballad "Loud Little Town." The remaining songs are credited solely to the Philly Specials: "Last Christmas," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Feliz Navidad," "Please Come Home For Christmas," a fairly hammy take on the Chipmunks' "It's Christmas Don't Be Late," and they close with an a capella version old Irish drinking song, "Parting Glass." Not a must-have, unless you're an Eagles fan, but the celebrity involvement and original tunes make this worth scouring for playlist selections. Hard copies and swag are at the Philly Specials website, but it's widely downloadable and streamable as well.
