5 stars ***** two thumbs up!

From the opening strains of Charles Brown's "Please Come Home For Christmas" you know you're in for a treat as Aaron Neville turns it up a notch for this collection! The musical arrangements are also great, and the interesting re-working of "Such A Night" indeed turns it into a Christmas Classic!

A nice combination of traditional hymns and carols , as well as the more popular holiday fare. The voice is the difference here, and it makes for on of my new holiday traditions!

I really look forward to this album for the holidays, definitely one of our favorites. That voice and a good collection of songs, including zydeco, give this CD a unique spot in our Christmas collection. From the first quietly chiming bells, I'm hooked.

Kept coming back to "What a Night" and "Lousianna Christmas Day". It cannot get better than this. The traditional Christmas Songs are sung perfectly in clear voice rendering heartfelt renditions. All in all this is a must have, terrific album. There is something for everyone. Not one bummer here.

Wow, what a great Christmas CD. It has become traditional at our house to make this the first CD listened to as we unpack all of our Christmas decorations, and the last listened to as we finish repacking at the end of the season. We also like listening to this one after the kids have gone to bed and we feel like relaxing and experiencing the many faceted wonders of the Christmas season.

Aaron Neville voice is at times reverent, mellow, thoughtful, soulful, dreamy, and downright fun. He captures the many different moods we all feel throughout the Christmas season. The band is simply superb, as are the arrangements and sound mix. This CD has both traditional religious carols as well as fun seasonal songs.

We were blessed to see Aaron sing with Roberta Flack and Melissa Manchester in a "Colors of Christmas" concert some years back, and this CD brings back his spellbinding singing from the stage.

If you like a variety of Christmas music, this CD will likely become a favorite of yours, too.

Some of the best Christmas standards sung by the man with the voice of an angel. Can't be beat and I've listened to just about all the Christmas music around.

During christmas (and sometimes even after/before christmas) I play this CD over and over again. It's my favorite Christmas CD. It has the best rendition ever of "Oh holy Night"... the BEST. Can't say enough about it!

Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas is a must! For anyone who enjoys listening to Christmas music, this CD is one that you have to have. It has become the favorite in our house. We had a copy for several years, and it finally got scratched so much that we had to buy a new one! It just wouldn't be the same not hearing the "big guy with the sweet voice" take us through the season. If you haven't heard it, listen to it. If you don't have a copy, buy one! You won't regret it!

This album has turned me into a devout Aaron Neville fan!

I play this tape virtually every day, and really crank it up for "O Holy Night". His incredible voice has brought profound new meaning to this traditional Christmas Carol.

Try it - you'll love it!

I bought this as a gift for my wife who collects Christmas-type albums. She claims it is the best Christmas album ever. It combines traditional, R&B, and rock styles and lyrics. And Aaron Neville's voice...smooth and clear.
