Especially with David Foster's newest production, "The Christmas Album." This album takes you on a musical holiday journey with a select mixture of magical voices. From Wynonna and Tammy Wynette to Vanessa Williams and Natalie Cole, you will feel the magic of Christmas right before your ears. The nostalgic journey begins with Wynonna's sexy, bluesy version of "Blue Christmas/' Her voice is so suave, so familiar, it carries the soul home. And Natalie Cole's "A Grown Up Christmas List," fills your heart with cel ebration. Her voice is simply beautiful. On a more poppy level, Vanessa Williams brings a touch of that spiritu al gospel music feel with her soft, in tense version of "Go Tell It On The Mountain." And Celine Dion's gorgeous voice makes "The Christmas Song (Chest nuts Roasting On An Open Fire)" sound simply majestical. Tammy Wynette's dazzling coun try version of "Away In a Manger" sings out the spirit of Christmas Western style. ; n- CLv .• -ML, ■ U3 When BeBe and CeCe Winans dou ble up on "The First Noel," they cast a spell of holiday merriment with their rich, delicate voices. Although Johnny Mathis' rendition of "It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year" is a little on the corny side, the rest of the album definitely makes up for it. The same goes for Tom Jones' "Mary's Boy Child," as well as a cou ple other fruity tunes. On the whole, "The Christmas Al bum" is just as the name says. Although it's a 90s version of old Christmas carols, "The Christmas Al bum" is a celebration of real, un adorned music. It captures what carols should — the wonderful spirit of Christmas. liiniiirk sings classics with a big band sound By Joe Leih The Battalion "When My Heart Finds Christmas" Harry Connick Jr. Christmas Jazz Columbia Album courtesy of CD Warehouse Harry Connick Jr. is defi nitely a throwback. In the days when hip hop and grunge rule the airways, he turns his back on modern music and leads the big band jazz everyone thought had long been extinct. His latest release, "When My Heart Finds Christmas," proves that Connick has not ended this trend. Covering priceless Christmas classics and even a few of his own original tunes, Connick suc cessfully lets his new album transport everyone back to the days of swing. "Sleigh Ride" is one of his best. With screeching horns, his classic slurring vocals and the occasional shout of See Connick/Page 10 Place Your Ad In The Battalion Call 845-2696 ANNIJAT JL VJL JL ^1 xjLJL—^ WINTER CAT Th V »/v 1,1, On All 14K & 18K Gold & Diamond Jewelry I Special Holiday How's Mon - Fri 10-9 Sat 10-6 Sun 12-6 Only at....
