5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Beautiful, May 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: John McDermott: Christmas Memories (Audio CD)

I just recently purchased this album and even though it is May I enjoy it every bit as much as I would and will at Christmas time. Is there anything this man can't sing and make beautiful? I have tried to pick a favorite song from the album, but they are all so beautifully done it is difficult. However, I think "Panis Angelicus", "Ave Maria","Christmas Memories" and "The Secret of Christmas" would top the list with "The Old Tin Star" close behind. Shucks!,Even though my children are all grown and have children of their own, if John McDermott made an album of Nursery Rhymes I'd buy it just to hear him sing. If you don't have this album, by all means, buy it. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Christmas alblum I've ever heard, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: John McDermott: Christmas Memories (Audio CD)

John McDermott's selection of classic as well as obscure Christmas songs is fantastic. The accompaning instruments are excellent and Johns' vocals are virtuously in harmony with the music. "Lo How a Rose e're Blooming" is my favorite song of all time. It became the symbol of my wife's and mine during her fight with breast cancer. "Lo How a Rose e're Blooming" is enscribed on her grave. The last 2 Christmas seasons and now the 3rd I play the CD every night as I go to sleep. Thanks John!

Regards, Steve Nelson

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, August 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: John McDermott: Christmas Memories (Audio CD)

Even though it's a little early for Christmas songs, I couldn't resist. This is a great CD. It's a wonderful mix of traditional and some lesser known Christmas fare, sung to perfection (as usual) by Mr. McDermott. I highly recommend this CD---a grand addition to your Christmas collection!
