5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Holiday Effort, October 28, 2004

This review is from: What a Wonderful World (Audio CD)

Vocal powerhouse LeAnn Rimes' ten-track collection is a lush, string-laden affair dominated by modern chestnuts like "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," "The Christmas Song"and "White Christmas." My favorite recordings on this set are her take on Vince Vance & the Valiants' "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and a stirring rendition of "O Holy Night" (the only hymn included here) that was previously included on her Greatest Hits. The new holiday tunes offer some diverse subject matter: the socially conscious "A Different Kind Of Christmas," the seductive "Just Love Me," and the poignant "Miss You Like Christmas. As usual, LeAnn sounds great throughout. I only wish the cd was a little longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas album from LeAnn, November 12, 2005

This review is from: What a Wonderful World (Audio CD)

LeAnn has recorded music in various styles (pop, country and gospel) during her career but this Christmas album is mainly a pop collection. The only religious song here is O holy night (a superb rendition that closes the album) while the only country offering is A different kind of Christmas (a very sad song, this is one of three original songs that LeAnn co-wrote for the album). Two tracks (Rocking around the Christmas tree, All I want from Christmas is you) feature a big band arrangement with saxophones, trumpets and trombones. The remaining songs generally feature string arrangements. LeAnn is in fine voice throughout.

Of the songs, the three originals (A different kind of Christmas, Just love me, Miss you like Christmas) are all worth hearing, while I was particularly pleased at the inclusion of Santa baby (an Eartha Kitt original) - I haven't heard many versions of this song although Kylie Minogue and Madonna have both recorded it. The title track isn't really a Christmas song but fits in well and LeAnn makes a great job of it.

This is a great Christmas album that everybody can enjoy. Well, from the other reviews, it seems not quite everybody, but I enjoy it and I am happy to recommend it to you. NOTE - although Santa baby is on my British version of the album, it is apparently not included on the American version.
