Editorial Review:
Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Josh Groban is known as a versatile performer and singer. Here he introduces fans to his festive side with Noel," a collection of cover tunes that run from "the religious to the irreverent". With orchestral backing from the London Symphony Orchestra, Groban croons and soars his way through a varied range of Christmas classics, enlisting the likes of Brian McKnight ("Angels We Have Heard on High"), Faith Hill ("The First Noel"), and a gospel choir directed by Kirk Franklin to help conjure up a warm and soulful vibe. Tracks like "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", (featuring just voice and piano) and "O Come All Ye Faithful" (with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) should provide a soothing sonic accompaniment for all music fans, no matter what the age range or stylistic leaning. --Danny McKenna

He has a very relaxing, lullaby-like tone - in a nutshell. This is a compilation of Christmas songs, but, I (and hopefully, you) can listen to them any time of year - they're very relaxing. :)
Superb This album is absolutely stunning and has already been said is the only Christmas album you will ever need. It goes without saying that Josh's voice is wonderful and is so perfect for these songs but the arrangements are absolutely superb. The tracks have been put down with such love and emotion and it really shows. I also love the duets because Josh is such a generous performer and brings the best out of everyone. I feel sad for all the people who will never hear this album, and also for the fact that... more info
A Josh G is not just for Christmas This is a beautiful recording - all songs sung with such sensitivity. For such a young man he has it all!
Just slightly put off by the spoken "greetings" on "Home for Christmas" - I can never quite trust these Americanisms - but the songs are wonderful.Gorgeous to listen to at any time.
A TOUCH OF THE BLUES I don't mean Rhythm & Blues I mean THE Blues, as that's what this album gave me when I played it.
Don't get me wrong I think Josh is great and have all his cd's but this Christmas cd I found rather depressing and was glad when it finally finished, where's the Christmas cheer Josh?
