Nancy Wilson Christmas

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Has Nancy Wilson ever made a public move in her 40-plus-year career that wasn't tasteful? Aside from a couple of small-print notices, purchasers would never know that Wilson intends to donate her royalties from her first full- length Christmas disc to the Pittsburgh-based Manchester Craftsmen's Guild, an arts and education center for lower-income residents. Christmas finds Wilson moving between quietly felt moods with astute shifts in arrangement size; her trio, the Dizzy Gillespie alumni orchestra, and a chamber group are among the varied settings. As a choice for a houseful of family on Christmas Eve, this could hardly be better. A seemingly unpromising match between Wilson and the supremely fussy quartet New York Voices on "Carol of the Bells" ends up as one of the album's most sustained performances. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars A must have for Christmas.......2007-01-11


I bought this CD because i am a fan of the Wilson sisters music first, and secondly because it was so highly recommended by others. It does not disapoint at all. The original tunes are hauntingly beautiful, with diverse melodies, and of course Ann and Nancy are in a league of their own vocally. The more you listen, the more you want to.

1 out of 5 stars This is not so wonderful...I really wish it was............2006-12-22

Being a Heart fan, I always look forward to hearing anything new from these fantastic sisters.
Well, this is new to me.
As a Heart album, this takes all of the weakest material and gloms it onto a CD. As a Christmas album, it just barely hangs in there.
The tone of the record is low key, EXTREMELY low key. There's no excitement of the season, no happiness exhibited through the music, and lastly, no example of what made this band great.
Every song, just sashays along at a stultifyingly slow to moderately slow speed, with the emphasis placed soley upon the lyric. That's great if you're selling a poetry recording, but it lacks, dare I say it, balls.
I didn't come into this expecting "Barracuda" with sleigh bells, but for crying out loud, the record just lays there, barely moving, sort of like hibernating mammal.
Yes, there's romance, but even romance has some sort of life to it. This recording has no life to it.
Without some sort of energy, romance becomes sleep.
I cannot recommend this to anyone with the possible exception of those with insomnia.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Christmas CD--but I vote for even MORE expansion..........2005-12-26

It would be great to have all of Ann & Nancy's holiday recordings on one disc at last. While adding 2 new tracks to this reissue, it would have been great if they had added "The River" from their CD "The Road Home," "Blue Christmas" from "a Very Special Christmas volume 2", and Ann's acapella version of "Auld Lang Syne," which I have only seen on a budget MCA holiday CD called "The Holiday Collection volume 3".

5 out of 5 stars Brazenly Romantic.......2005-12-06

Ann and Nancy Wilson and the gang have created a stunning Christmas album. There is a great mix of Wilson originals plus several traditional Christmas songs. Every song here is a winner and Ann and Nancy's vocals shine throughout. Absolute standouts are: "How Beautiful", "The Last Noel" - with lead vocal by Frank Cox, this is the surprise winner of the set: a reflection on the passing of time, the a-capella "Oh Holy Night!", "Christmas Waits", and "It's Christmas Time". The production is lush and soft - - making this a perfect Christmas recording. It's a classic!

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!.......2005-07-08

Im 13. And a HUGE Heat fan. This is what you have to have for not only the holiday season but also for the whole year. I like to listen to all year. ITS THE BEST BUY!

5 out of 5 stars Nancy is fabulous as always.......2004-05-20

Leave it to Nancy to do a tasteful classy Christmas album. I'm jewish but I'm a big fan of Nancy's and this is the one Christmas album that I listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Fun Stuff.......2002-12-27

Nancy departed from the shackels of Sony records and what did she do first? She went into the studio of Telarc Jazz and produced one of the finest Christmas albums I've heard. The names of guests on this album reads almost like a who's who in the world of jazz and when you thought it wasn't to get better, she donates all the profits from this album to charity. Nancy is a class act and that class is evident on all the tracks contained here in. For me a stand out track is the Broadway inspired arrangement of "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow." Nancy sounds like she had a great time recording this album and the various arrangements ranging from Big Band to Trio all flow seamlessly. Nancy is a song stylist, her interpretations sometimes don't follow the standards set by other artists performing and producing traditional Christmas albums so do not expect mundane versions of these carols, they belong to Nancy.

5 out of 5 stars Great choice of songs.......2002-12-17

I love this Cd, Nancy's vocal stylings and phrasings are so unique. The songs make me feel good and put me in a sophisticated mood. I recommned this Cd for all jazz enthusists. I will hate to store it away after Christmas. Add it to your Holiday collection and you will be glad you did.

3 out of 5 stars Some good, some bad........2001-12-31

Nancy Wilson is a great lady, but her voice was never one for everyone. This album has some great stuff, but also has some that is unlistenable. The NY Voices, the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni Orchestra are great. I just think that this album should have been edited more and some tracks should never have made it to the final cut.

Great, great Holiday album! So smooth. Featuring Nancy Wilson and the great Lou Rawls, those voices what a gift, good memories. This one is a definite keeper for your Holiday collection.

5 out of 5 stars It does'nt get much better than these artist's.......2004-07-01

Lou Rawls and Nancy Wilson are two of the best voices in the business. When Frank Sinatra says in an interview, "Lou Rawls has some of the best pipes in the business" you know he must be great. Rawls and Wilson can sing anything; blues, pop, soul, jazz, holiday and the list goes on & on. You can't go wrong purchasing anything that these two record. BUY THIS CD!!!
