5.0 out of 5 stars Great performance by Mr. Lionel Richie, December 30, 2010

"Sounds Of The Season" is by far one of the best sounding Lionel Richie productions in a long time. The Christmas spirit is definitely present in this holiday package.

Mr. Richie's voice is so smooth that you can literally fall into a deep trance with a smile, especially on his Sinatra-like overtone on "The Christmas Song" and the melodically driven"The First Noel". NO surprise there at all. The energy of this project seams into a timeless work of art which cannot be denied if you are a true music lover. The musical arrangements and production are extremely slick and well produced by the multi-talented Chuckii Booker. (who also serves as Lionel Richie's musical director ) Every song captures the nuance of Mr. Richie's voice but if one has to stand out, it would be "Silent Night". The old school overtones and arrangements makes this a winner instantly and is in full rotation on my playlist during the holidays.

If there is one holiday season project to get, it would be this one hands down.

5.0 out of 5 stars SHORT CHRISTMAS, January 29, 2009

After being a Lionel Richie fan for at least 23 of my 27 (28 as of 1/28/2009) years, I was thrilled to hear that he was finally recording a Christmas album. I received it as a gift 12/25/2008. I ran right up to my room and played it. The songs he chose to sing were fantastic, but the album was just too short! According to the timer on my CD player, the whole CD played for less than 30 minutes! It seemed as soon as I put the CD on, I had to turn it off before I could blink! Great effort for his first take on "Sounds of the Season," but I would definitely have liked a few more songs on the album.
