5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Best Christmas CD that I own, January 7, 1999

Anyone who likes smooth, tight harmony sung by 4 guys whose voices truly do "Blend", must get this CD. I was so floored by this CD that I bought 3 more for family members and they all had the same response - who in the heck are these guys and why haven't I heard about them before? I first experienced these guys at the "Acapellafest 98" that was held in Los Angeles in Oct 98. They had such stage presence and clearly represent the best of "Contemporary Acapella" (along with the group "Rockapella" who was also at the concert). If you have an appreciation for smooth, hip, vocals then take a listen to these guys. These classic Christmas songs never sounded so good!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY Holiday CD you need, November 9, 2001

This is the BEST Holiday CD I have ever heard. I use it for Christmas parties with my friends, at work, as background music at Christmas dinner. No one who has heard this CD has ever failed to comment on it, in fact I had to ship it in from another state because it was so popular in Minneapolis. The blending of their voices is beautiful, the best part is that they don't try to change these traditional songs to "personalize" it with their style as so many artists do. This is just a great collection of our favorite songs, sung so beautifully. If you are going to buy any gift for your family and friends this year, buy this! Every year since I purchased it, this is the first thing I listen to to welcome the Holiday season.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Holiday Magic, October 25, 2001

You know, the older I get, the more I love the subtle elements of the holiday season. In my youth, it was always the bright colors of the decorations and paper, the loud pop versions of carols. Now, however, I look for the gentle harmonies and the sense of style long absent from Christmas CDs. The Blenders have scored amazingly high in the style category, with such unique arrangements of traditional standards. The most amusing song has to be the Tiki Lounge version of Let It Snow! Full atmosphere with noisy diners, clinking glasses, and inebriated revelers make it a delight. For the more traditionally minded, Angels We Have Heard On High is a rich, choral arrangement that perfectly shows off the Blenders...well, blending. Marvelous. Buy it.
