Elvis Presley Christmas Duets
Elvis Presley
Sony Legacy, 2008
Elvis just stopped in for the holidays.
I love this. The first track I listened to was "If I Get Home on Christmas Day" because that is my favorite Elvis Christmas song. I love the way they updated the music without trying to make it sound trendy or phony. Next I listened to Winter Wonderland - they ...

The Christmas Collection
Amy Grant
Sparrow, 2008
Amy For the Holidays!
It isn't the first snowflake drifting from the heavens or the smell of evergreen which signals the approach of Christmastime for most of us, but the first Amy Grant song we hear playing. Perhaps no artist is more associated with snow and holly and the Holiday Season ...

Peace on Earth
Casting Crowns
Reunion, 2008
Christmas Came Early This Year!
I felt a little strange driving down the highway singing along with Christmas songs before Halloween. But, this CD blesses as ALL of Counting Crows music does. I love each and every song. The arrangements are unique as are the vocal styling. If you like Counting Crows ...

Let It Snow
Michael Bublé
WEA/Reprise, 2007
Michael Buble "Let It Snow"
This CD is another indication that Mr. Buble is here to stay. His rendition of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" would touch the soul of the most hardened Scrooge. Michael Buble's style reminds one of Frank Sinatra with one difference: the quality of his voice is ten ...

Joy To The World
Faith Hill
Warner Bros., 2008
Bring Cheer to your home
This is a great Holiday album. Put it on and you will want to start baking the cookies. Hill is a great solid singer who knows the right music to show off her voice.

A New Thought For Christmas
Melissa Etheridge
Island, 2008
Christmas Has Been Redefined...
...& who better to do it? I'm a huge, dedicated Melissa fan, but even if I wasn't I would love this album. It's the holidays from a whole new point of view, spiritual instead of religious. It's an amazing mix of sounds; rock, blues, jazz, & classic all find their nests ...

Come Darkness Come Light: Twelve Songs of Christmas
Mary-Chapin Carpenter
Zoe Records, 2008
Not a typical "Christmas" album -- way better!
All I can say is, WOW. This is one fantastic album.
First and foremost, this is a Mary Chapin Carpenter album, not a Christmas album. While the theme of the songs may be Christmas and holiday, it's an album I'll be listening to year 'round.
One of the great ...

This is the liveliest holiday music I've heard. Great arrangements with interesting new sounds! The musicians really let loose with their creativity and had a great time doing it.

Holiday Spirits
Straight No Chaser
Atlantic, 2008
Originally formed a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the a cappella group has reassembled and reemerged after their video for 'The 12 Days of Christmas' became a phenomenon with almost 8 million views on YouTube. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No ...

A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas
Kristin Chenoweth
Sony, 2008
A Lovely Way to Start Your Christmas Season
Kristin Chenoweth has put out her first Christmas CD and it is absolutely beautiful. It's full of Christmas classics that everyone knows and a few lesser known Christmas songs. She sings the songs in the traditional way and some have a country twang to it.
1. I'll ...

One Chance
Paul Potts
Sony, 2007
Simply outstanding
Many seem to want to compare Paul Potts to the great opera tenors past and present and point out that he is not technically as proficient as they are/were. These observations may be true, they may be opinion, they may be irrelevant seeing how most of the songs on One ...
