Product Description

JAMES TAYLOR AT CHRISTMAS (2006) is essentially a repackaging of the artist's 2004 JAMES TAYLOR: A CHRISTMAS ALBUM, which was made available in Hallmark stores. "Deck the Halls", featured on the Hallmark album, is not on AT CHRISTMAS, which instead features a version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "River", originally released on a Taylor studio album in 2002. These technicalities aside, AT CHRISTMASis a mellow and sweet holiday offering from the venerable singer-songwriter, with Taylor's gentle acoustic and easy tenor caressing "Go Tell It On the Mountain" and "The ChristmasSong". Taylor fans looking for a little Christmas cheer will want to pick this one up.

Customer Reviews

Great for relaxing at Christmas
For any fan of James Taylor, Christmas albums, or simply excellent music this is a must buy. James Taylor has a very easy voice to listen to, and the majority of the songs are instantly recognizable. There are some beautiful vocals, which add to already well known songs. If, like me, you managed to get the Hallmark Christmas album from the US, 10 tracks are the same here (10 out of the 12 being on this, and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas already being owned by fans who bought October Road a few years ago), the only "New" track to true JT fan is "River", but "Deck the Halls" is not on this new release, and was on the Hallmark version.
I've listened to this album(The Hallmark version) a lot since I bought it, and I'm already looking forward to the festive season, so that I can listen again.

Love it!
It's beautiful. I can't stop listening to it. If I had to pick a favorite it would either be River or Baby It's Cold Outside. You can't go wrong with this CD.

A wonderful collection of songs - you'll not regret buying it!
I am biased of course because I love James Taylor's voice...! but this is sublime for a christmas feel anytime of the year...even if,like me, you are not vaguely religious, all the songs just feel 'right'!
