Free Music Notes for The Best of Aaron Neville - The Christmas Collection: 20th Century MastersFree Music Review: He does these songs just right for his wonderful voice and the style of the song Hit: 5 StarsAaron Neville has a unique singing style that is based on his falsetto range and a specialized kind of vibrato that, to me, sounds like a beautiful alto flute. He still has a masculine sound, but it puts some people off. However there are so many of us who love his voice that we are also happy to have this great Christmas collection.
For a pop singer, his version of "O Holy Night" is fabulous and while he has the normal pop vocal cheats, the emotion and power of this version is quite straight. His version of Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song" is about the best thing on the album.
He does a fine cover of "White Christmas" as are the other holiday fun songs "Let it Snow", "Such a Night". I like his "Please Come Home for Christmas" and the hymns "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and "Silent Night" are done with reverence and are quite moving. The "Louisiana Christmas Day" is a wonderful Cajun song. He finishes with "The Star Carol" and "The Bells of St. Mary's".
This is a great holiday album to have on sitting with someone you care about in front of a fire enjoying the season and each other.
Free Music Review: Absolutely Wonderful!! Hit: 5 StarsAaron Neville has an angelic voice. He is unmatched by anyone else in the music industry. When you hear his music, you immediately know its him singing because once you hear him, you're hooked and you'll know that truly wonderful unmistakable voice after two seconds of hearing it.
Free Music Review: A Great Re-issue Hit: 4 StarsI was very happy to find that A&M Records has re-issued the 1993 Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas as part of it's 20th Century Masters collection. My original copy has become scuffed and scratched from much play over the last ten years, and I had never ripped a copy of it or backed it up...
