Logic would dictate that if Aaron Neville can't make it a soulful Christmas, nobody can. Neville's one of the only mere mortals who can actually deliver on the old saw about having a voice so sweet he could sing the phone book. Problem is that Neville, who is notorious for making the wrong career choices, probably would sing the phone book if someone signed the check. Consequently, even though he includes the typical standards on Soulful Christmas, they still ring true with his magical voice. "Such a Night" and "Louisiana Christmas Day," however, stand out with soul and are required additions to any funky holiday party mix. --Michael Ruby

Our Family's Favorite Christmas CD.......2006-12-04
Aaron Neville voice is at times reverent, mellow, thoughtful, soulful, dreamy, and downright fun. He captures the many different moods we all feel throughout the Christmas season. The band is simply superb, as are the arrangements and sound mix. This CD has both traditional religious carols as well as fun seasonal songs.
We were blessed to see Aaron sing with Roberta Flack and Melissa Manchester in a "Colors of Christmas" concert some years back, and this CD brings back his spellbinding singing from the stage.
If you like a variety of Christmas music, this CD will likely become a favorite of yours, too.
