I am a huge Oleta Adams fan and I wanted to love this CD.

I know Christmas CD's don't have the production budget that a mainstream CD might have. I know that Oleta Adams recorded it at her studio at home and these two factors may have worked against it.

First off what I loved about this CD.

Track 5
Breath of Heaven

Track 7
There's Still My Joy.

both of these tracks sound like they could have easily been lifted from Oleta's 5 star gospel CD Come Walk with Me. Just Oleta and piano and that magnificent voice.

I did like track 4 I Wonder as I Wonder which Oleta puts her own spin on this timeless classic.

The rest of this sounds like Oleta and her beautiful voice singing to a kareoki track.

I would have loved Oleta to record CD using a live band or orchestra.

Still there is enough excellence on this CD to make this a part of your collection. After all Oleta can never do wrong in my book.

I've always loved Oleta Adams. Her renditions of the Christmas classics are exactly what I expected from such a talented, yet underrated artist.

When she opens her mouth to sing it is like hearing from heaven. She has such presence. She brings new life to every song. The CD is a wonderful mixture of traditional and nontraditional carols.

Oleta has produced a beautiful Christmas CD. The music will be appreciated from the the very young to the very mature. If you like music you will like this.

Oleta Adams gives us another beautiful CD with her personal touch on these songs.

For those of us who love the fantastic voice of Oleta Adams this CD will not disappoint you. As with all of her music she delivers a song like no one else can. It is a MUST have for your Christmas music collection. Once you hear her delivery on these songs you will feel like you have received a true blessing, especially from the song entitled "Breath of Heaven". ENJOY!

Only a collection of classics but it's enough to say:"Oleta Adams is fantastic". A dream? Could I sing with her? At least a conconcert in Europe, please!
Great unique voice!!!
