Elliott Yamin's new Holiday cd is such a refreshing new way to ring in the holiday season. Every song has the Elliott spin. There is new life in the old dusty classics like Jingle Bells and Drummer Boy. The original songs are soulful, fun and full of Holiday spirit. The Christmas Song will become a classic up there with Nat King Cole and Sinatra. This is a definite must for Christmas this year!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this CD three days ago, again, like his first CD, have listened to it over and over, the more I hear it, the more I love it, and get what he wants to do in the songs. I love all 8 tracks, but in particular, his funky upbeat Merry Christmas, Baby, (i predict a classic), and LOVE love love 'Warm me up' (predict another great hit by this incredible artist! Let's Be Naughty is Great. All my friends who listened to a couple of the tracks, went out and got their own!!! This CD will put you in the mood for Christmas and giving/doing good, and it can play over your holiday meal with joy!!!

Elliott Yamin's holiday CD is a special treat. "Warm Me Up" is apparently a new song that Yamin delivers with his soulful croon, "Come warm me up, it's cold outside; Let's bundle up by the fire; Come warm me up, it's Christmastime, I want to know what's your desire?" Perhaps the star standout of the CD is "Merry Christmas, Baby." It may be hard to imagine how a track that's been recorded in versions by Christina Aguilera, Chuck Berry, Booker T & the MGs, James Brown, Dion, Etta James, Elvis Presley, Bonnie Raitt, Low Rawls, Otis Redding, Bruce Springsteen & Stevie Wonder could sound fresh, but this funky performance has great punch in the percussion with Yamin's vocals through the roof, "You bought me a diamond ring for Christmas & I feel like I'm in paradise." His reading on Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)" are both excellent. With only eight tracks, this CD goes by quickly leaving us wanting more. Bravo!
