Product Description

From Amazon.com

Jewel has concocted an intriguing and at times beautifully inspired holiday album, playing it straight with a big orchestra and backing voices for the first half of the record with standards such as "Joy to the World," "Winter Wonderland," "Silent Night," as well as a lovely rendition of "Ave Maria." Things finally get sparkling in the last half where Jewel does a low-key, kid version of "Rudolph" and sings her own compositions. Her moving "Face of Love" and "Hands" are certain to become holiday standards, capable of being sung in a country, pop, gospel, or R&B vein and deserving of an audience as wide as the nation itself. The record's centerpiece, however, seems to be a six-minute-plus medley that mixes "Go Tell It on the Mountain" with the recent hit "From a Distance" and her own "Life Uncommon." Nonetheless, her stunning adaptation of "Gloria" inspired, in part, by Bach's B-Minor Mass, two tracks later is as powerful and lovely a Christmas vocal performance as you will find anywhere. Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin, Joy is destined to become a holiday classic. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Christmas CD!, Nov 16 2005
By Shell1 (Ontario) - See all my reviews
This is my very favourite Christmas CD! Jewel's voice is so sweet, without being overly so. Her rendition of "Go Tell it on the Mountain" is so lively, you just want to sing out loud. The song "Hands" brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it.

I play this over and over again in my CD Player; I actually have a copy in my car and one at home because I can't bear not having it available in both places.

If you buy only one Christmas CD this year, make it this one. You'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must have, Dec 19 2003
By A Customer
Her voice is just right. The mix has fun and religious. This is one of, if not my favorite christmas CD. Jewel hits all the notes just right. Her voice is pleasing. It is bound to become one of the Christmas classics with Nat King Cole ,Tthe Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The Vienna Boys Choir and Bing Crosby. And others....It captures all the emotions in Christmas. I love this.

Jewel's voice adds so much depth to these songs.

From the fun, 'Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer' to the very touching version of 'Ave Maria' (is Jewel possibly an angel? Read more
