HMV Review

Canadian songbird Anne Murray has always had success with her gentle, traditional approach to Christmas and holiday music, and What a Wonderful Christmas is no exception. The majority of the songs on this two-CD set are faithful Christmas chestnuts (Joy to the World, Away in a Manger, O Holy Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas), with a few lesser-known, non-traditional numbers (This Season Will Never Grow Old, Christmas Wishes, Sweet Little Jesus Boy). All of the songs are delivered in a warm acoustic setting, with a handful featuring tasteful string and brass sections and a small backing choir. Anne Murray's music always seems most appropriate in the winter, and a collection of holiday songs fits that bill nicely. ~ Zac Johnson, Rovi
