 | A Big Band Christmas
VARIOUS ARTISTS
List price:USD $7.99 Used Price:USD $3.95 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $4.80
Good, for goodness' sake...:I picked this up for two reasons: I love big band music and I love Christmas music. And while I have to admit a few of the tracks are less than spectacular, usually because they are performed by a typical "swing" band and not a "big" band in the true s... |

Christmas Nostalgia At It's Best:What can I say that the other reviewers haven't?
Simply, if you like the old christmas 'crooner' sounds of yesteryear, specifically the 1950's, then you'll probably love this christmas cd that combines two albums, one of christmas and the other ... |
 | Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas
SONY PATTY LOVELESS
List price:USD $7.99 Used Price:USD $3.33 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $5.03
O Santa, where art thou? Patty Loveless's big voice almost upstages such stately hymns here as "Away in a Manager" and "Silent Night." That said, this is one of 2002's most satisfying Christmas albums regardless of genre. Rich with harmony vocals and deft acoustic instrumentation... |
 | A Winter's Solstice II
VARIOUS ARTISTS
List price:USD $7.99 Used Price:USD $0.99 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $3.92
The Winter Solstice series from Windham Hill is an appealing souvenir from the label's early days, when guitarist Will Ackerman still served as its chief guiding light and fount of original thought. For years Ackerman shunned the overt commercial trappings of traditional Christma... |

 | Harry for the Holidays
SONY
List price:USD $8.99 Used Price:USD $0.99 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $3.73
Call him the retro Sinatra, the keeper of the big band flame, the swingin' piano man, but Harry Connick Jr., remains one of New Orleans' treasures. His second Christmas CD is as much a salute to his hometown musical roots as it is to the season. Filled with second-line arrangeme... |

DONNY OSMOND
List price:USD $6.99 Used Price:USD $4.70 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $3.23
Not Christmas without it:This album has been a Christmas cornerstone for me since its release seven years ago. It is one of the most unique collections of Christmas songs I've ever heard, ranging from familiar classics like "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" to relatively unk... |
 | Let There Be Peace on Earth
VINCE GILL
List price:USD $6.98 Used Price:USD $0.48 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $2.39
Vince Gill's first holiday effort is split between secular favorites and Christian carols, but whether he's dreaming of a "White Christmas" or asking "What Child Is This," the performances and arrangements are consistently careful, quiet, and slow. Sometimes, this effect is nearl... |
 | Silent Night: The Greatest Hits of Christmas
SONY MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR
List price:USD $7.99 Used Price:USD $0.89 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $4.86
Straight Forward Christmas Carols:What I like best about this album is that the arrangements are very true to the original carols. There if very little in the way of flourish, no long instrumental sections, and they sing all of the verses that you are used to singing in church. |
 | Beyond the Season
GARTH BROOKS
List price:USD $15.98 Used Price:USD $7.99 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $42.88
The pop Christmas album is a lost art everywhere but in the country-western arena. You don't see today's rock acts reeling off sets of religious standards the way you used to--which is probably for the best. But even within the whole country milieu, since album release schedules ... |

SONY JOSHUA BELL
List price:USD $11.96 Used Price:USD $7.95 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $9.61
Constantly exhorted to "sing," string players naturally try to emulate that most beautiful musical instrument, the human voice; no wonder they literally want to get their fingers on the treasures of the vocal repertoire. Joshua Bell has appropriated some of its best-loved songs ... |

Ireland's world-class ambassadors the Chieftains seem determined to play with anyone who is anyone, regardless of genre. On The Bells of Dublin, they do an exceptional job of teaming up with the likes of rockers Jackson Browne and Elvis Costello, as well as songbirds Marianne Fai... |

ANTHONY KEARNS RONAN TYNAN FINBAR WRIGHT
List price:USD $9.98 Used Price:USD $4.09 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $5.52
There's a commercial inevitability to holiday song collections that can tempt music fans to mutter "humbug" under their breath. Yet while this collection (released in conjunction with the Tenors' Christmas Spectacular tour of 2003) is no less market savvy, in the end the trio's e... |
