White Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Bing Crosby

Release Date October 01, 1999
I love Christmas music, often pulling it out to listen to mid-year. And you'll never catch me listening to anything but Christmas music from Thanksgiving to Christmas. That's why I'm a little ashamed to admit to only just now getting this classic collection.

What I've been missing all these years is a truly wonderful CD. Bing has a rich, strong voice that is pleasing to listen to. The arrangements feel dated, but that's part of the charm. It feels like an old friend from the very first listen.

My only real complaint (and a minor one at that) is the pacing of the album. The first six tracks are all slower numbers. They do include a great version of "Silent Night," and Bing's classic recording of "White Christmas," ... Read More:

Live at Blues Alley

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Eva Cassidy

Release Date February 19, 2001
I was heartbroken to hear that Eva Cassidy herself considered Live at Blues Alley to be a lesser work. I think it is her best album and it is the one I reach for first when I need an "Eva Fix." Each song is an individual treasure, and together, they form artistry that continues to make me mourn the loss of one of the 20th Century's finest voices, and people.

The Very Best of Peter Skellern

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Peter Skellern

Release Date June 24, 1996
A real bargain this - I got it as I only have recordings on vinyl. A nice mix this, many tracks with full brass band arrangements. A great musician and proper song writer - Mr Skellers personality shines through.

Didn't include the track "No more Sunday papers" otherwise a spot on collection.

Songs of Love [3CD Box set]

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Matt Monro

Release Date October 12, 1998
His voice is among the best of the best, in fact, MATT MONRO IS UNRIVALED. If you are or have been in love, wish to be in love, or loved and lost, there is something meaningful for you in this collection of 54 songs. Matt's voice evokes emotion and is meant to be felt as well as heard, it is warm, passionate and slightly haunting, and he seems to be singing, "to you alone." He sings from his heart, his delivery is distinctive, voice lush, the warmth of his emotive voice touches my heart and it's sure to touch yours too.

Now And Then

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Chris De Burgh

Release Date April 21, 2008
Irrsepective of some other reviewers, this is an outstanding album with songs of deep meaning. For me personally the love that I lost ...she used to play this album in her car when we went out and said it reminded her of me...now we are apart but I hope when she plays it in her car she'll remember what we had...I had to but the album...sentimental?...yes, comforting...absolutely. Sit back relax and let the music wash over you...certainly got me through my depression...if I could personally thanks Chris de Burgh I would

A superb collection of some of Mario Lanza's finest recordings. Considering some go back to 1949 - 1958, the recordings to CD are excellent. You'll never walk alone, sung as it was originally intended by the great Mario Lanza. A perfect collection for new comers or fans looking for the best of Mario Lanza. A track for every occassion.

Dino: The Essential Dean Martin

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Dean Martin

Release Date September 06, 2004
This compilation showcases Dean Martin's musical stock-in-trade: a complete lack of singing talent coupled with a unique ability to utilise vocals to convey smugness - unbearable smugness. Listening to the pedestrian quality of the tracks here, it's hard not to picture Dean recording them while actually engaged in some other activity - counting his money, having a manicure, playing video games. At times, one has the distinct impression that he is in the middle of eating a sandwich, or perhaps a pizza, and is in point of fact singing out of the side of his mouth. At other times, one can almost hear him thinking "Are they really gonna pay me for this junk?" But then the air of self-satisfaction returns, and one can visualise the jaded star wrapping up the ...

The Christmas Collection

CD-Charts > Music > All Easy Listening
by: Barbra Streisand

Release Date October 13, 2008
This set contains both of Streisands festive albums.

The first 'Christmas album' remains one of the all time classics. From the high-camp of 'jingle bells' to streisands hauntingly gorgeous 'silent night', the album is a sheer revelation from start to finish. Its a fine example of her 60's voice and intonation and remains a favourite to many fans.

the second album 'chistmas memories' came nearly 30 years after the first, but as always with streisand the wait is justified. the song selection is near perfect, and the whole work has a deeply atmospheric, almost cinematic feel. streisand takes festive standards ('i'll be home for christmas'), gorgeous ballads ('closer'), modern pop songs ('it must have been the miseltoe') and spiritual ...
