3.0 out of 5 stars Sequel is not as good as the original, October 11, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Wichita, Kansas) - See all my reviews

Although this album is pleasant enough, the variety of music is not as great as the first album of The Carols of Christmas. It is OK if you want mostly guitar music. One of the tracks is misnamed (i.e., Angels From the Realms of Glory is actually Angels We Have Heard on High), and is just plain weird. Loreena Mc Kennitt's Middle-Eastern twist on God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is unusual, but has grown on me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary Performances of Christmas Classics, February 28, 2004

By A Customer

I was given this CD as a gift, and I wasn't sure I would like it since I tend to stick to classic renditions of well-known songs - especially Christmas carols. I was wrong! The artists on this compilation have put a very tasteful and unique spin that (dare I say) seems like a refreshing change to some of my holiday favorites.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE........., August 5, 2003

By	W. G. Ellis (MORROW , GEORGIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I THOUGHT I WAS GETING EITHER TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS MUSIC OR
NEW ARRANGEMENTS OF THE OLD FAVORITES. FOR ME PERSONALLY, THERE WAS TOO MUCH PIANO AND GUTIAR SOLOS. I AM SURE THERE ARE A GREAT MANY PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC, IF YOU DO THEN YOU SHOULD LIKE THIS CD.
