Summary: 3 Stars
As a huge Mavericks and Raul fan, I was delighted to see a Christmas CD! But I was disappointed that several tunes sounded like mere Dean Martin impersonations. Raul should just sing! I don't know who produced this CD, maybe Raul did. But the concept was off on several tunes. I can recommend this to big fans of his, you'll find several songs you love. I hope to see a second volume released with more Raul, less Vegas.Book Review: Always great!

I tried to wait 'til it was closer to the holidays, but started playing the cd soon after it arrived. Raul has such a beautiful voice. Loved "Silent Night", my favorite Christmas song. I was delighted to hear"A Not So Merry Christmas" , I really love it. The rest of the cd shows his groovy,sly, sense of humor. Will be attending his Christmas show in Baltimore, can't wait. His concerts are always a lot of fun and haven't missed one yet.
Book Review: At Last!! What Raul's Fans have been waiting for!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Raul Malo is one of the most accomplished vocalists of all time. His fans are legion, and he puts on some of the most outstanding performances imaginable. If you've not seen him live, in concert--well, that should be on a list of things to do in your lifetime!! He puts on a magnificent holiday show at the end of each year, during his tour, and it's a can't-miss occasion, indeed!
This long-awaited Christmas/holiday album delivers the incomparable vocalizations of Raul, along with the phenomenal piano accompaniment of Robert Chevrier. The title song could well have been called "Marsh-Malo World!!" EVERY song is superbly rendered. But, of course! Raul Malo is a vocalist in the league of a Roy Orbison.
It's refreshing to hear his vocalizations on standards such as Silent Night. Malo takes a song and makes it his own. In December 2006, his Christmas show was a preview of the songs on the CD; Raul's incomparable guitar playing and the piano accompaniment of the magnificent Robert Chevrier are much in evidence on this album. Santa's Back in Town, Blue Christmas, and Jingle Bells all get a marvelous re-invention by Raul. If you get a chance to catch his 2007 Christmas tour, do yourself a favor and go!
Lovers of Raul, of holiday music, or the holiday season will be thoroughly absolutely delighted with this CD. Magnifique!!!
Book Review: Awesome once again!

More great music from this very versatile performer! I love his renditions of these holiday songs...He definitely puts his own spin on them...very bluesy, jazzy and funky. I have been listening to it non-stop since I received it in the mail on Saturday...It will be a great addition to your holiday collection. Silent Night gives me chills it is SO beautiful and I absolutely LOVE his rendition of Jingle Bells...groovy!
