Ally McBeal: A Very Ally Christmas [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
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

Customer Reviews:

Excellent for Christmas time.......2007-01-20

I suggest it, it's a very special time generator, the Christmas time.

River.......2007-01-19

I bought this for one song only - River by Robert Downey Jr. It was the only place I could find it, and it was perfect.

Just what I was looking for.......2007-01-11

This is a great party Xmas cd. Very festive and fun at the same time. The song that Robert Downey Jr. sings on this cd called River is the reason I bought it but I am glad I did as the rest of the cd is great also. Good buy and will be enjoyed even by those who don't/didn't like Ally McBeal.

Outstanding!.......2006-03-19

While Christmas shopping, this CD was being played in the store. My friends and I LOVED it! After purchasing it, I could not be happier! I find myself listening to it even after Christmas! It would be hard to choose my favorite song since each and every one is great. A wonderful addition to my Christmas CD collection!

Merry Christmas from Ally & Friends.......2004-01-01

That's what this album really is - the show's gift to the audience. Who can forget the shy, embarrassed Ally with the sexy rendition of "Santa Baby" or the snow-covered streets in the episodes with Robert Downey, Jr. "White Christmas" was unexpectedly filled with pathos while "River" is an almost last hurrah. A few other artists appear but once again, Vonda Shepard saves the day. She carries the album just as she carries the show. Have yourself a Merry, Merry Christmas and buy this CD for someone you love...or for yourself.
