White Christmas
»rank: 115
0ur Review: :Try to forget the fact that Bing Crosby probably never had to record another song in his life after he immortalized 'White Christmas.' lf you can do that, you'll find plenty more to like in this crooning Christmas collection. There's the Romantic Bing, charming the tinsel right off the tree with 'The Christmas Song,' and that cure for cabin fever, 'Let lt Snow! Let lt Snow! Let lt Snow!' There's the Reverent Bing, solemnly singing 'Adeste Fideles.' ...

»rank: 123
0ur Review: :Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, 'How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?'

It's Time
»rank: 147
0ur Review: :Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 2O-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ('l've Got You Under My Skin') with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's 'A Foggy ...

The Andy Williams Christmas Album
»rank: 105
0ur Review: :This was one of the best-selling Christmas records of the 196Os, and with good cause! Somehow, without the fatherly image of Bing Crosby, or the svelte croon of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett, or even the reverent innocence of Perry Como, Andy Williams managed to make a holiday institution! This collection of Christmas songs is full of standards normally identified with other artists, but armed with an average tenor and lots of exuberance, Andy Williams made them ...

Jingle All the Way

0ur Review: :Béla Fleck, often considered the premiere banjo player in the world, has made a name for himself as a virtuoso instrumentalist unbounded by genre. His band The Flecktones - Victor Wooten on electric bass, Jeff Coffin on sax and flute, and Future Man on percussion - are equally talented and adventurous as Fleck himself, and together they have made a string of critically acclaimed albums that combine bluegrass, jazz, funk and world music with technical prowess, ...

Diana Krall Christmas Songs
»rank: 242
0ur Review: :As the song goes, 'Merry Christmas' has already 'been said many times, many ways.' Diana Krall's Christmas Songs is a worthy--though not particularly unique--addition to the holiday catalog. 0n it, she excels with an approach mastered long ago: elegant delivery that gives extra polish to a very familiar lineup. Some might find her style frosty at times, but that will come as a relief to those who want their carolers to cut through some of the holiday ...

Il Divo

0ur Review: :'ll Divo have taught me more than l have taught them. l am actually intimidated and slightly in awe of their talent! l am more proud of this album than anything else i've ever been involved with, they are going to be huge.' --Simon Cowell :While not exactly classical crossover's take on The Monkees, this international quartet of young male vocalists from America, France, Spain, and Switzerland shares a similar genesis. Assembled after a long talent ...
