Ally McBeal has dominated television for three years, so why not a Christmas album for fans who number 20 million or more? Truth be told, this is really a Vonda Shepard record (she's Ally's TV singing voice), with a little help from the McBeal cast, including Ally (née Calista Flockhart), who successfully tries on Eartha Kitt's silly, sassy, seductive "Santa Baby." With 14 tracks and Macy Gray's distinctive "Winter Wonderland" included, the album covers lots of turf, as Shepard and company cover hymns and carols that are sparsely arranged and appealing for their soulful simplicity. Shepard's soprano talent continues to reveal its many riches. Here's a singer who's at home in a gut-bucket blues tune such as "Please Come Home for Christmas" and strolling down Broadway, joyfully swinging on "The Man with the Bag." Additional surprises include Shepard's duet with Robert Downey Jr. on "White Christmas" and Joni Mitchell's "River." Recommended. --Martin Keller

 My Favorite Holiday Album Ever December 7, 2008
P. B. Korch (Worcester, MA)
If you've grown oh so tired of Jingle Bells and White Christmas, this is the album to buy. It's a wonderful, heartfelt compilation of mostly non-traditional holiday songs. Vonda's voice is great and there are a few surprises. A little jazzy, a little folksy and a touch of the blues. Great price for this little gem, too. (If you enjoy Robert Downey Jr's "River," you might want to purchase his own CD, "The Futurist," it's wonderful.)
A great Christmas album! August 4, 2008
Jonathon Taylor
This is a great Christmas album from Miss Shepard. she puts her heart and soul into these holiday songs, and she does it so perfectly, that it touches your heart. I usually don't like the Christmas music they play in the shopping malls, and department stores every year, but this holiday album from Vonda Shepard, and the Ally McBeal cast was surprising to listen to, especially the song of "Everybuddy's Waitin' For The Man With The Bag". Vonda Shepard's rendition of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was so touching that I almost cried, because the way she sings it was absolutely with so much emotion and soul. The Ally McBeal cast also does a good job on four of the songs. Robert Downey Jr.'s version of the song "River" was pleasant to my ears, as well as the song "White Christmas" which was sang with him and Vonda Shepard. This Cd comes highly recommended. Great work from Vonda Shepard.
ALLY MCBEAL CHRISTMAS ALBUM January 22, 2008
Lynette Daniels (central georgia usa)
I heard a song on the radio during the Christmas Holidays and fell in love with it. It was done by a female singer and I was trying to describe it to my daughter. I told her it was about a river. She immediately knew the song done by Robert Downey Jr. on a Christmas Ally McBeal CD. I borrowed hers until I found "my own" and ordered it from Amazon. It's an amazing Christmas CD. Especially Robert Downey JR's version of "The River" ! I ordered it and before I knew it, it was here! Just as described on amazon.com I even missed ((yeah!!)) going to the crowded mall during the Christmas rush. Thank Goodness for Amazon.com!
Christmas Music January 12, 2008
pasn (Alexandria, VA)
I love this Christmas CD. Pandora played Vonda Shepard's version of "Man With The Bag" so, I ordered the CD. While not a regular viewer of Ally McBeal the few times I did watch the best part was when they were in the bar and Vonda was on stage. And Jane K can really sing ... some cuts with other cast members singing are only so so but, all in all a great addition to my Xmas music collection.
Jazzy and Upbeat December 11, 2007
Meg Zeringue (Baton Rouge, LA United States)
This is the only Christmas album I listen to every year, and it still hasn't gotten old. Each song has a nice upbeat jazzy feel, and is a welcome relieve from the typical versions of holiday songs. Everytime someone new hears this album playing, he/she asks about it. It's also a great gift!
