Summary: My favorite Chistmas Album this year.
Comment: My sweetheart loves Christmas, so every year I am on the lookout for a new CD that might be nice to listen to on the rare chance we get to drive together. This CD ended up being played at home quite a bit this last Christmas, and here's why.
While you might find any number of old familiar Albums, I get kind of tired of the stuff that my folks might have played in the 60's when I was small (well besides the Chipmunks... I mean that's classic). That leaves mostly three choices, Motown/ Rock and roll versions, Country versions (some of which are actually quite good) Or the Modern "Pop Diva" versions, and for me that is the worst, because they are more about showing how many times they can make vocal runs go up and down the scales, and I am just so sick of that.
Well here is a pleasant alternative.
The arrangements are simple and you can sing along, which is kind of the point with a Christmas CD, and the vocals are filled with such warmth and if I can say it right, a reserved (adult) enthusiasm. Again, Ms. Krall simply makes me believe her performance, and that is why I love this CD.

Summary: don't know what this means
Comment: It's ok. I was a little disappointed; all of the tracks seem to sound the same. I like Diana Krall alot, though, I will continue to purchase her music.

Editorial Reviews:

As the song goes, "Merry Christmas" has already "been said many times, many ways." Diana Krall's Christmas Songs is a worthy--though not particularly unique--addition to the holiday catalog. On it, she excels with an approach mastered long ago: elegant delivery that gives extra polish to a very familiar lineup. Some might find her style frosty at times, but that will come as a relief to those who want their carolers to cut through some of the holiday treacle and create a festive, yet grown-up vibe. And Krall does show off her playful side with little, personal touches. In "Winter Wonderland" she promises to "frolic and play the Canadian way," which should draw smiles from her native land. (That'll mean toasting the holiday with Molson, eh?) Elsewhere, she ends "Jingle Bells" with the girlishly giddy statement, "I'm just crazy about horses." Well…can't argue with that. --Leah Weathersby
