5.0 out of 5 stars "Hall & Oates show how it's done", December 15, 2006

Ist of all this is both Hall & Oates unlike you've probably ever heard them,and secondly you'll be thinking "What took them so long to realize they needed to do this." What comes off here is simply one of the most heartfelt Christmas performances barr none to be recorded. For one, pop artists are realizing their audiences are wanting to hear more than "Santa Clause is coming to town" kind of songs. Bottom line is your going to love this! I believe their version of "O HOLY NIGHT" is truely the finest version ever recorded, and I have favorite versions by others namely Nat King Cole. Note of warning Amazon shows this as an expensive Import, FYE is selling this nationally for 9.99!

Will get you in the holiday spirit!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Christmas Album, December 24, 2006

This review is from: Home for Christmas (Audio CD)

My first reaction to Daryl Hall & John Oates' Christmas album was some surprise to how good it sounds and how true to Christmas the songs are. No "Frosty the Snowman" types here....

The string arrangements complement the album's beginning overture into "The First Noel". Daryl and John's vocals remain first-rate and it stays that way right through the best "O Holy Night" you've ever heard.

This album is must for anyone who needs some Christmas music that keeps the real meaning of Christmas right up front where it belongs. The lone exception may be "Jingle-Bell Rock" which is a newer version than the 1983 release.

Best tracks are:

Home For Christmas (Title Track)
Christmas Must Be Tonight
Children Go Where I Send Thee
Mary Had A Baby
The Christmas Song
Jingle Bell Rock
O Holy Night
