4.0 out of 5 starsLullabies? Holiday Songs? Oh but wait..........
By A Customer on November 12, 1998
Format: Audio CD
As an ardent fan of Shawn Colvin, I must admit I had my doubts when I first heard her new album would be a Christmas release featuring lullabies. In my opinion many holiday albums tend to be pretensious and lack originality. And lullabies? Not exactly what I was hoping for from my favorite singer/songwriter. However after I listened to the first track I was won over.
The beauty of this album is in its simplicity. None of songs sound contrived or overdone, but rather make the most of Shawn's subtle voice and distinctive style. Whether accompanied by a guitar or a brass choir, the arrangments never over power. I was surprised how much I enjoyed listening to this album. Also, like with the Cover Girl album, I discovered some old songs I never knew that have become favorite.
It is a very soothing and relaxing album that does not compromise Shawn's body of work.

4.0 out of 5 starsSongs sung with love
By Neal Reynolds VINE VOICE on December 13, 2002
Format: Audio CD
This is indeed a beautiful album. It opens with the traditional "In the Bleak Midwinter" and then goes directly into the classic "Christmas Time Is Here" from "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Another traditional but seldom heard number is "Rocking", and then there's the haunting lullaby, "All Through The Night". "Silent Night" is the one absolute Christmas standard here. And "Close Your Eyes", Brahms Lullaby, is heard from time to time on Christmas CDs, though it isn't truly a Christmas song. However, with Shawn's voice, all of these are good.
Regretfully, I can't put this album into the same category that I have put CDs by other female vocalists such as Judy Collins, Natalie Cole, Anne Murray, or Julie Andrews. But this is a good folksy type classic record to own.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Perfect Baby Gift
By Kimberly Harne on October 26, 1999
Format: Audio CD
I spotted this CD last year when looking for Christmas music and instantly fell in love with it. I quickly bought up a few more copies to give as "just-for-nothing" gifts for my friend who was expecting at the time, and my sister, who will have her baby next month. They both found the CD incredibly soothing and lovely. I just wish the book that provided the inspiration wasn't so difficult to find now!

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautifully simple
By A Customer on October 18, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Don't listen to the nay-sayers! This is an incredible album that shows a different, truly lovely side of Colvin. It is especially touching to remember that she put this album together when she was pregnant with her first child. When you listen with that in mind, her heartfelt renditions of these gentle songs seem all the more sweet. Children and adults alike will love to listen to this cd that became an instant holiday favorite in my house.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Music, As Always
By A Customer on December 14, 2000
Format: Audio CD
My dad is an avid Shawn Colvin fan, and so I've grown up listening to her in the car, on road trips, while making dinner, and sitting around the living room. I used to be irritated by it (apparently, I would have much rather had been listening to my Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas cassette tape). But now, I'm the biggest fan of Shawn's songwriting and her music. This CD lulls me to sleep at night after a stressful day, even mid-July, and is a staple around my house at Christmastime. I've never really liked Christmas albums, but this one isn't typical. Be prepared for a pleasant surprise. There's a nice mixture of Christmas and wintery sitting-by-the-fire-in-my-slippers music, as well as some sweet, rare lullabies that showcase Shawn's amazing voice. I love this CD. So will you. Also, check out her other CDs...Steady On, Cover Girl, and A Few Small Repairs are all wonderful CDs, as well.

5.0 out of 5 starsMerry Christmas to me...
By A Customer on February 24, 1999
Format: Audio CD
I was, at first, slightly confused by Shawn's selection of songs until I happened upon a copy of Lullabies and Night Songs, from which many of the songs on the album were taken. It is a book of very simple arrangements of familiar (and not-so-familiar) childrens' songs and poetry by Alec Wilder. One of the beautiful things about his arrangements is that they sound so simple, while they are quite harmonically complex.
Shawn's endearing, wavering voice and intelligent re-arrangement of some of the songs only adds to the already endearing quality of the music.
The last song on the album, Close Your Eyes, really hit me; Shawn's voice sounds so thin and glass-like...it makes me smile every time I hear it.

5.0 out of 5 starsA very different Christmas album
By Peter Durward Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on January 12, 2005
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
As the title might imply, this is a very mellow album that might send you to sleep if you are in any way tired. But if you were to fall asleep while this CD is playing, you'd miss some great music. The book from which Shawn selected these carols and lullabies obviously contains many songs that are rarely heard these days, making this particularly interesting for those looking for something different, though there one song here that is famous all around the world - Silent night, which works as a lullaby as well as a carol.

The opening track, In the bleak midwinter, is a wonderful old English carol and it's great to hear this sung by an American - a rare occurrence. Rocking is another old English carol, one that is particularly suited to this album, being both a holiday song and a lullaby. All through the night is a carol I've heard before but recordings of it seem to be even rarer than Rocking and In the bleak midwinter.

Elsewhere, there are beautiful songs such as Windy nights (words by Robert Louis Stevenson), All the pretty li'l horses, Little road to Bethlehem and Love came down at Christmas. The final track is Close your eyes, so it seems that Shawn really does want you to fall asleep after that.

This is definitely not a typical Christmas album but very soothing - and very satisfying.
