Free Music Notes for Ultimate Soul Christmas
Free Music Review: Disappointing
Hit: 2 Stars
I bought Ultimate Soul intending to escape from the blandness of radio holiday music by the likes of Celine Dion, etc. Sadly, this set does not deliver. With a few exceptions most of it sounds like unemotional pop. If you want to hear the ultimate in soul at Christmastime, buy "Soul Christmas". That collection will move you, in every sense of the word. If you're looking for background music that won't distract from your Christmas party then Ultimate Soul Christmas might be a good choice. If you're looking for pure listening pleasure, keep looking.
Ultimate Soul Christmas Poster
It would be hard to argue that Ultimate Soul Christmas isn't truly the wham-bam collection of soul, R&B, jazz, gospel, blues, and pop it claims to be. Believe it, because its 30 tracks are practically a retrospective of the United States' bedrock African American musical genres framed in a Christmas wreath. While there's lots of old-school crooning from the likes of Luther Vandross, Nancy Wilson, Alexander O'Neal, and others, plus a smattering of Motown and boy bands like Boyz II Men (ironically sounding the most dated), the vocal performances on many tracks are timeless keepers. Among them are Otis Redding's "White Christmas," Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)," Lou Rawls's swingin' and ever-so-delightful "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?", Fats Domino's "Please Come Home for Christmas," and Bebe & CeCe Winans's "Silver Bells." Of special note are Bill Withers's heartfelt and instructive "The Gift of Giving," Candi Staton's scorching "Christmas in My Heart," and Gladys Knight & The Pips' "Do You Hear What I Hear." --Martin KellerBlues Music CDs
