by
Diana Krall/Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra
On her first full-length Christmas album, pianist/vocalist Diana Krall delivers a smoky, sophisticated, and slightly melancholy album perfectly suited to accompany egg nog cocktails and romantic afterglow holiday affairs. Although there isn't anything unexpected on Christmas Songs -- Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" is as ...

Seven years after the release of their 1998 album The McGarrigle Hour, Kate & Anna McGarrigle have crafted a holiday album in much the same manner, which means they've brought together members of their family (including Kate's children Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright, both of whom have been enjoying successful solo careers), longtime ...

by
Brian Setzer Orchestra
As Brian Setzer's second Christmas record in three years -- apparently his Surfdog labelmate Gary Hoey has been rubbing off on him -- it should come as no great surprise that Dig That Crazy Christmas sounds a little bit familiar. It follows the same form as 2002's Boogie Woogie Christmas, as Setzer blasts through several familiar carols, tosses in ...

Lee Ann Womack
Cardinal rule number one for introducing new holiday songs amidst a sea of newly arranged classics: Make them compelling! No doubt she hopes that listeners will slow dance to the title track of her first holiday offering, but, despite its sweet sentiment, it's one of the handful of bland tracks amidst many that are far more interesting. The most ...

by
Various Artists
England's Proper label issued this 100-track attempt to sum up the state of black harmony groups between 1940 and 1952. Though there's a lot of incredible music from the era, this four-disc set overly concentrates on slow ballads instead of up-tempo numbers. The first disc, "Digging the Roots," begins right where it should, with tracks by the ...

The Best of Christmas Classics
(2001)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
A collection of poppy Christmas songs by artists like the Beach Boys, the Chipmunks, Lou Rawls, and Dean Martin, The Best of Christmas Classics doesn't offer any surprises. It's meant to recall popular secular favorites from the 1950s and '60s, and, with only ten tracks, it certainly doesn't get them all. The ones chosen here, however, still ...

The Orioles
Led by the sultry tenor voice of Sonny Til, the Orioles -- in spite of being regarded by many as the originators of doo wop -- have been poorly served in the CD era, with most of the collections available consisting of re-recorded versions of their late-'40s and early-'50s hits. There is the massive and definitive six-disc box from Bear Family, of ...

The Dynamic Les DeMerle Band
Presumably taking advantage of some time off while touring, Les DeMerle joins up with a small group for a jazz Christmas album. It's nightclub fare in general, with steady instrumental work from the crew and some solid vocals from Bonnie Eisele, DeMerle's wife. Ken Peplowski takes some very nice, classic post-bop solos from time to time, playing ...

This anthology collects the early, often charming and sometimes overly cute singles from Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. Besides the classic "I Sold My Heart to the Junkman" (which was really LaBelle backed by the Starlets), there are lesser-known numbers like "Down the Aisle (The Wedding Song)" and "I'm Still Waiting." Overall, this is ...

1940's Christmas is a nice set of tried and true performances of classic Christmas songs featuring Benny Goodman & His Orchestra, Lena Horne, Bing Crosby, and others. Rod McKuen expertly collected the set, which includes one of his own performances with Petula Clark, and added a few obscure numbers such as "Button Up Your Overcoat" and "Santa ...

Originally issued in 1990 under the name This Christmas, this album finds one of soul's most fiery and recognizable voices delivering a 12-song session filled with contemporary and original Christmas compositions.

Our Christmas Songbook finds Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles tackling traditional Christmas songs, and unfortunately their approach to this material was also very traditional. The R&B/soul arrangements associated with LaBelle at the time are instead replaced with standard and, at times, mediocre versions of "White Christmas," "Hark! The Herald ...
