 just what I needed Jan 07, 2009
Currently I am renting a small space and have stored non-essential items in a storage unit. Unfortunately this holiday season came and I had no Christmas ornaments, decorations, music, etc. I ordered this CD to help me through the holidays. I absolutely hate the Christmas music that you hear in retail stores trashed by pop singers. My taste tends toward traditional carols, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, or maybe Boston Pops. This selection of songs was a real treat... soothing, festive.....typical James Taylor. I definitely recommend it!!

James Taylor Christmas CD is great Dec 24, 2008
Great music to "get in the spirit" of Christmas. The pleasant, relaxing voice of James Taylor singing everyone's favorite holiday songs, in his own great style. *****CD

 Uninspired Dec 22, 2008
A long time James Taylor fan - but there is a certain cheese factor about these arrangements that makes them truly difficult to listen to.
Do look elsewhere.

Not a bad track on the entire CD . . . . Dec 21, 2008
I'm a huge Christmas music fan. 32 CDs in my collection . . . and still buy a new one each year. The day after Thanksgiving I just put them on multi-disc player suffle and let play until December 26th. [The time-frame is family member enforced :( ]
Like a child, I like to open and play the new Christmas CD sans any pre-research or opinion reading. I don't want to be prejudiced. Sometimes they are a total bust/disappointment (i.e., Mary Chapin-Carpenter's Come Darkness, Come Light) and sometimes they are a joyful, not-a-bad-track-on-the-entire-CD, full-out pleasure to listen to again and again.
That's how I feel about the James Taylor at Christmas CD -- two years running. It's wonderful in song selection, arrangement, production, and James and guests are in fine voice. You can acutally hear in their voices that they enjoyed making this music -- at least that's how it sounds to me. Whether you have a large or small Christmas music collection, this one is worth adding.

 Not the best... Dec 09, 2008
I had just bought October Road which I totally love, so I thought why not try his Christmas CD. Not so hot! I'd say four or five of the songs are pretty good, but the others are average or less than average. If I had to buy another Christmas CD I think I'd go with Bing or Nate.
