"I ordered this along with something else b/c I wanted free shipping, but I was pleasantly surprised. The music is so great. No lyrics, tight arrangements, recognizable melodies. Since we first popped it into the car CDplayer on the way to a family Christmas party, we've gone back to it several times. Great background music for a festive holiday party. Mellow and good."

"Wow! If the thought of enduring another standard version of a Christmas carol, particularly when trapped on a long line in an overcrowed store, filled with other holiday shoppers detectably lacking in seasonal spirit, makes you yearn for a high security prison cell in Guantanimo, take heart! Cajun Christmas is the antedote. In fewer than three notes this masterful musician will begin driving the blas away and injecting you with a hearty dose of good cheer, Bayou style. These exuberant versions of the classics, with their delightfully surprising twists and turns, will jump-start your enthusiasm for holiday baking, gift wrapping and tree trimming. On Cajun Christmas, Jo-El Sonnier lives up to his considerable acclaim, and equally important, his producer did an outstanding job of capturing these highly spirited performances in all their contagious glory. There's not one lame track in the bunch. Whether you've a picky listener, fan of this genre or just someone looking for a festive addition to your holiday collection, Cajun Christmas is your musical glass of yule tide cheer. Bottoms up!"
