An Unusual Christmas Compilation.

MAYBE THIS CHRISTMAS is a collection of Christmas songs performed by a variety of alternative artists. About half of the songs on the album are traditional Christmas songs while the other half are new Christmas songs. My favorite songs on the album are:

"Winter Wonderland" Phantom Planet

"Maybe This Christmas" Ron Sexsmith

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" Coldplay

"Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" Sense Field

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" Barenaked Ladies w. Sarah McLachlan

I bought this album solely because of the Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". I wanted to play that song on my internet radio show and this is the only album I can find that has the song on it. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed most of the other songs as well. Most of the songs are performed nicely and are written in the Christmas spirit. However, beware of "Bizarre Christmas Incident" by Ben Folds. The song tries to appeal to country humor, but is neither funny nor respectful of country people--the song isn't really even a song and contains the only foul language of any of the tunes on the album. Overall, this is a nice album to play during Christmas time, but skip over "Bizarre Christmas Incident".

Great music and some super laughs!

This is an outstanding CD- one that everyone can listen to.... but the one thing that the reviews do not mention is the comedy bit that is at the end. This is one of the funniest christmas moments that i have ever listened to, and if you have kids- and have to attend christmas things that you might not like to attend, i promise that you will laugh. Don't drive the first time! The BNL tune is catchy and has harmonies that i adore- and the recording was totally unplanned- just happened at a detroit concert. Beware the Cat tune--tears will flow. The Midevel babes are fantstic- its all great! Enjoy!
