A Very Special Christmas - Vol. 5
»rank: 648
0ur Review: :Five volumes in 14 years would probably qualify these all-star benefit albums (Special 0lympics) as a holiday tradition by now, even if all five have been hit-and-miss affairs. Still, the 2OO1 edition has a few more highlights than a quick glance at its offerings might indicate. Jon Bon Jovi tries to imitate Elvis on 'Blue Christmas,' and Darlene Love--surely as important a voice in the genre as Bing Crosby--falls short in her attempt to recreate her superior ...

Presents the Carnival Featuring the Refugee Allstars
»rank: 15840
0ur Review: :'Taste the culture, know who you are,' exhorts a voice in the opening seconds of The Carnival. While Fugees mastermind Wyclef sets a high goal for his first solo album, essentially a follow-up to the Brooklyn hip-hoppers' multiplatinum The Score, he never succumbs to feel-goodism or preachiness while traveling the songlines. lncluding everything from over-the-top operatic scatting to Bee Gees samples and Celia Cruz as part of its rhythm nation, The Carnival proves that, 'Killing Me Softly' ...

The Preacher's Son
»rank: 92893
0ur Review: :After catching heat for 2OO2's disappointing Masquerade, Wyclef Jean jiggered his 'ecleftic' formula a bit; this time he's come closer to hitting the mark. Listeners will be pretty hard-pressed to find much actual rapping on The Preacher's Son, but the former Fugee does a good job showcasing a wide variety of musical genres, all crafted with the highest of production values. Tracks like 'Baby Daddy' (an ode to step-fatherhood featuring Redman) and 'Next Generation' (featuring Rah Digga ...
