Product Description

Amazon.ca

Call him the retro Sinatra, the keeper of the big band flame, the swingin' piano man, but Harry Connick Jr., remains one of New Orleans' treasures. His second Christmas CD is as much a salute to his hometown musical roots as it is to the season. Filled with second-line arrangements and fierce horn charts that could blow all that holiday chill back to Canada, Connick's latest revisits upbeat standards such as "Frosty The Snowman," "Blue Christmas," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and others. Most swing and romp, but the hymns are given the reverential vocal treatment that Connick is known for on his more secular love ballads. Surprises include a quirky arrangement of "Silver Bells," in what sounds all the world like a Henry Mancini score for an action film. And there's four Connick originals that don't quite match the level of the covers, except for what must be the oddest pairing of talents all season, the duet with country singer George Jones on "Nothin' New For the New Year," an inspired tune and performance from two master stylists. There's nothing quite as lasting as the chestnut he penned on his first Christmas CD, "I Pray on Christmas," but for fans, here's a merry Harry N'awlins holiday love fest. --Martin Keller

About 30 seconds into Harry's version of "Frosty the Snow Man" I started slamming my head against my George Foreman Grill, just hoping the music would stop.

And it didn't get any better by the time "Blue Christmas" rolled around, because then I started brushing my teeth with an egg-beater.

Merry Christmas, Harry. Keep on torturing us with your merry brand of jubilee, buddy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Love Harry, Hate the CD Jan 10 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I really like Harry Connick Jr. I have Red Light, Blue Light and love most of the songs. I didn't like any on this CD. His arrangements were strange. I was disappointed but fortunately I received Michael Buble's Let it Snow at the same time, so I had something wonderful to listen to. I'll just stick to Michael from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to any XMas music collection Jan 4 2004
Format:Audio CD
Not being a huge fan of jazz, I was pleasantly suprised by this collection. Harry has taken the traditional carols like "Silver Bells" and "Frosty the Snowman" and turned them into catchy tunes. I especially liked his rendition of "Blue Christmas", where he incorporates his big-band style while remaining true to the traditional version. This CD was a joy to listen to over the holidays and will be enjoyed by us for years to come!

This album is jazzier than his first Xmas album, but it is just as amazing. Whether you're strictly a Harry fan or just looking for a great Xmas album, you will love this CD. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as WMHFC, but still very good
It took a couple of times through to get used to it, but if you're a Harry fan, you'll settle into it. His vocals are so smooth and soulful. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars I was so excited to buy this, but so disappointed!
I thought this album would be fabulous. I was so wrong. Harry just isn't up to his usual standard. He sings in a lackluster way through holiday favorites. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing
I like Harry's voice generally but this cd is really disappointing. Most of the cuts are too brassy and Silent Night has been turned into a spiritual.
