5 stars ***** two thumbs up!
I really look forward to this album for the holidays, definitely one of our favorites. That voice and a good collection of songs, including zydeco, give this CD a unique spot in our Christmas collection. From the first quietly chiming bells, I'm hooked.
Wow, what a great Christmas CD. It has become traditional at our house to make this the first CD listened to as we unpack all of our Christmas decorations, and the last listened to as we finish repacking at the end of the season. We also like listening to this one after the kids have gone to bed and we feel like relaxing and experiencing the many faceted wonders of the Christmas season.
Aaron Neville voice is at times reverent, mellow, thoughtful, soulful, dreamy, and downright fun. He captures the many different moods we all feel throughout the Christmas season. The band is simply superb, as are the arrangements and sound mix. This CD has both traditional religious carols as well as fun seasonal songs.
We were blessed to see Aaron sing with Roberta Flack and Melissa Manchester in a "Colors of Christmas" concert some years back, and this CD brings back his spellbinding singing from the stage.
If you like a variety of Christmas music, this CD will likely become a favorite of yours, too.
During christmas (and sometimes even after/before christmas) I play this CD over and over again. It's my favorite Christmas CD. It has the best rendition ever of "Oh holy Night"... the BEST. Can't say enough about it!
This album has turned me into a devout Aaron Neville fan!
I play this tape virtually every day, and really crank it up for "O Holy Night". His incredible voice has brought profound new meaning to this traditional Christmas Carol.
Try it - you'll love it!
