The best of New Orleans for musical Christmas cheer!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"A wonderful collection of Christmas and holiday favorites sung by some fabulous musicians - all from New Orleans. I have many, many Christmas albums, tapes and CD's, but over the years this one remains my favorite. The Dixie Cups rendition of "Let it Snow" will lift your spirits, Irma Thomas sends chills up and down your spine with "O Holy Night" and Aaron Nevelle's crooning "Christmas Song" is every bit as good as Nat's. But you really will be taken home to the Big Easy with Pete Fountain's clarinet and that banjo when mommy kisses Santa. There is dixieland, blues, gospel, zaidigo all accompanied by the musicians who have made New Orleans the great music city it is. I can't wait for the holiday season just to hear it again."

"Put this CD in a Christmas shuffle, and you are guaranteed to be asked for the title and artist. Nobody has ever heard of it, yet everyone loves it. I literally begin my Christmas season ritual to the version of "White Christmas" on this CD."
Bon Temps Rouler!

"You know how every CD has at least one song you skip because you just don't like it? This CD is the exception to that rule. Every track on this disc is a gem. Far and away the best holiday CD I've ever heard."
