Raul Malo is one of the most accomplished vocalists of all time. His fans are legion, and he puts on some of the most outstanding performances imaginable. If you've not seen him live, in concert--well, that should be on a list of things to do in your lifetime!! He puts on a magnificent holiday show at the end of each year, during his tour, and it's a can't-miss occasion, indeed!

This long-awaited Christmas/holiday album delivers the incomparable vocalizations of Raul, along with the phenomenal piano accompaniment of Robert Chevrier. The title song could well have been called "Marsh-Malo World!!" EVERY song is superbly rendered. But, of course! Raul Malo is a vocalist in the league of a Roy Orbison.

It's refreshing to hear his vocalizations on standards such as Silent Night. Malo takes a song and makes it his own. In December 2006, his Christmas show was a preview of the songs on the CD; Raul's incomparable guitar playing and the piano accompaniment of the magnificent Robert Chevrier are much in evidence on this album. Santa's Back in Town, Blue Christmas, and Jingle Bells all get a marvelous re-invention by Raul. If you get a chance to catch his 2007 Christmas tour, do yourself a favor and go!

Lovers of Raul, of holiday music, or the holiday season will be thoroughly absolutely delighted with this CD. Magnifique!!!

You just know that if Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack were still alive and swinging, they would have to induct Raul Malo as a full-fledged member. The man has a voice even Dino and Ol' Blues Eyes would admire. And this cd is worth the listen just for Malo's heart-melting take on that old standby, 'White Christmas.' This cd makes me wish there would be some more Malo music for me under the tree this year.
