Editorial Reviews

Truth in packaging: Christmas in New Orleans boasts a decidedly regional panorama of seasonal favorites--with one or two originals, including Milton Batiste's completely charming "Big Fat Santa Is Coming to Town." Of course, you've really never heard some of these chestnuts until you've heard the renowned Zion Harmonizers gospel choir's "Silent Night" and "White Christmas" or Tommy Ridgley's cookin' arrangements of "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Silver Bells." That these singers and players are fairly well known among New Orleans music buffs is great, but many of them remain relatively obscure to the rest of the world. That should be an invitation to join the party, whether it means singing along with Charmaine Neville's boisterous "Santa Baby" or swinging and moaning on the "Night Before Christmas Blues." After all, New Orleans music is the world's music. Recommended. --Martin Keller

This review is from: Christmas in New Orleans (Audio CD)

This is a tremendous album for folks from the New Orleans area and everywhere. Up tempo songs with a true R&B sound. Buy it. It's a great Christmas album.

If you celebrate Christmas, or if you don't but still listen to the music secretly, or if you just love all things New Orleans like I do (especially the music), get this one! Milton Batiste's "Me Big Fat Santa" is the standout, but every track is great. Put a little gumbo in your Christmas cheer - it's a whole lot of extra joy!
