What a fantastic voice. We love his music. Anytime, not just at Christmas time.

A smooth voice, smooth soul and a smooth Christmas. Fortunately these are not dirge like holiday tunes but a mix of upbeat and soulful tunes to light any Christmas fire. Too bad there aren't more than 10 tunes on here as you could light a fire, pour a glass of wine and listen to Al Green sing all night. Not sure why I waited so long to get this to add to my canon of 1200 Xmas tunes. It's a soulful Christmas and Al leading the pack.

This is a great CD!  I would recommend this to anyone who wants Christmas music with a little bite.  Check out song 2 as a great example.  I am not typically a big Christmas music fan or a big heavy metal fan.  But, very surprisingly, these two go together well.

This is the best Christmas entertainment I've seen in some years.  It is truly "old fashioned" in that it consists of beautiful. well-trained voices singing gorgeous music.  The production values are understated, if a trifle kitschy at times, but that doesn't matter.  Above all, this celebrates the true meaning of Christmas through wonderful music.  Gone are those days!  Now, most network televised Christmas music shows avoid the religious side of Christmas; or those which do embrace it dumb down the musical side to the lowest common denominator.  I am certain I will revisit this video during future Christmas seasons.  I wish they'd bring out another volume or two, because they certainly don't put on shows like this anymore.

I normally don't listen to Christmas music too early in the season for fear of tiring of it too soon.  I adore The Moody Blues, but was reluctant to go right out and purchase this CD as I've done with their music in the past.  A friend of mine surprised me by sending a copy in the mail as a gift.  The words that come to mind upon first listen are "refreshing" and "sincere."  "Don't Need A Reindeer" is such a catchy, bouncy opener that has several hooks that just play through your head all day.  "December Snow" is another favorite of mine, showcasing Justin Hayward's mind-blowing talent for writing such poignant ballads.
Though the remaining Moody Blues can handle the harmonies quite well, I do miss Ray Thomas' full, rich baritone that I've loved all these years.  As for the flute-playing, Norda Mullen does a marvelous job on this recording, and in concert for the last year.
I echo the sentiments of those who regretted there not being more original tunes on the CD.  I've read an interview where Justin stated that adding more "covers" was the idea of the record company rather than their own.
I also agree that this is a CD that is not exclusive of the holiday season.  I think this is a positive thing, though.  I'm going to enjoy listening to this great offering from my favorite band well into the new year!

I own all of Sugarland's releases so far, and this is just another awesome one. On this Christmas album, there are five songs written by the members of Sugarland, and five classic Christmas songs. Normally I'd be wary of orignal Christmas songs, but with Sugarland, there's nothing to worry about. "City of Silver Dreams" and "Gold And Green" sounds like classic Christmas songs already, with lines like "Looks like somebody's birthday party to me" and "Everything looks better in gold and green." "Maybe Baby" and "Little Wood Guitar" are also wonderful songs. On the more classic Christmas songs, Sugarland does not let down. "Holly Jolly Christams" and "Nuttin' for Christmas" are fun songs to sing along with, while "O come O Come Emmanuel" and Silent Night" speak about meaning of Christmas. All in all, this is a Christmas album to own!

This is such a fun CD.  I LOVE "Christmas Must Be Tonight", Daryl & John's version of The Band's song.  "Children Go Where I Send Thee" is very inspirational!  They are really in their element when singing "Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday."  Their versions of standards and sacred Christmas songs are great in their own way, too.  This is definitely a worthwhile album for your holiday collection!

The Six Pack CD is a great sampling of the talent of this group. I highly recommend both of their Christmas CDs..."Holiday Spirits" and "Christmas Cheers" as well. The harmonies are wonderful. Your ears are in for a refreshing treat.

The Night before Christmas is surprising and extremely fun. Being from LA, I have always loved Christmas in Dixie. Just an all around good album.
