Sounds of the Season: The Elliott Yamin Holiday Collection Music Cd

Elliott Yamin's holiday CD is a special treat. "Warm Me Up" is apparently a new song that Yamin delivers with his soulful croon, "Come warm me up, it's cold outside; Let's bundle up by the fire; Come warm me up, it's Christmastime, I want to know what's your desire?" Perhaps the star standout of the CD is "Merry Christmas, Baby." It may be hard to imagine how a track that's been recorded in versions by Christina Aguilera, Chuck Berry, Booker T & the MGs, James Brown, Dion, Etta James, Elvis Presley, Bonnie Raitt, Low Rawls, Otis Redding, Bruce Springsteen & Stevie Wonder could sound fresh, but this funky performance has great punch in the percussion with Yamin's vocals through the roof, "You bought me a diamond ring for Christmas & I feel like I'm in paradise." His reading on Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)" are both excellent. With only eight tracks, this CD goes by quickly leaving us wanting more.
