I ALWAYS KNEW MARTINA HAD A FABULOUS VOICE AND THAT WHEN SHE SINGS THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STANDS UP BUT I DIDN'T REALLY REALIZE UNTIL I LISTENED TO THIS CD HOW MUCH EMOTION SHE IS CAPABLE OF. SHE MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE HEARING ALL OF THE CLASSIC CHRISTMAS SONGS FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE IS AMAZING.


Awesome classic Christmas music CD   November 12, 1998

Martina's voice really shines on this CD. It is the best Christmas CD I have ever bought. All of the accompanying music is masterfully written and goes perfectly with her voice. Even though the CD is all classic Christmas songs that have been around a while, the music that was composed specifically for Martina's CD is refreshing. Martina does an absolutely spectacular and beautiful job of singing those old Christmas classics everyone loves. I would give this CD 10 stars if the rating went that high!

This wonderful Chrismas album from Martina McBride is perfect for occasions when family and friends gather for the Holidays. Some failed to appreciate its beauty, pegging it as uninspired or bland. What it is, however, is beautiful. Traditional rather than innovative, it has no equals for those times when you simply want to hear familiar Christmas songs with lovely arrangements sung by a beautiful voice.

McBride's voice seems made for Christmas, its power and ability to shade emotion a flawless fit for familiar Christmas classics. There are wonderful Christmas albums out there with their own special place in our routines when this most special of seasons comes around each year. But Christmas is also very much about the familiar and nostalgic, which is captured here by Martina McBride.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas -- Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! -- The Christmas Song -- O Holy Night -- Silver Bells -- Away in a Manger -- White Christmas -- What Child Is This? -- I'll Be Home for Christmas -- Silent Night

There is nothing new here, and there wasn't meant to be. But what is here is beautifully done and a reminder that it's Christmastime once again. This recording is like walking by a store window and seeing the first Christmas display of the season. If no frills means just the heart of the matter, then this fits that bill. A nostalgic and traditional Christmas album from a great voice.
