Customer Reviews Joan with her real pipes! This album proves it. I always knew Joan had real singing pipes. Wonderfully produced (real and organic. . . not poppy production), this album delivers the best, and sometimes obscure, Christmas tunes out there. I hope she continues to do more material like this and stays away from the more poppy stuff like that G-D song. Thanks, Joan. She might be the best. So deep soulful, heartfelt, the instrument of her voice is so beautiful and evocative. I think Joan is being reborn (after giving birth) in a very special and even more creative space. There are clever urban bluesy Christmas songs here. And there are deep Christian, spiritual, country village away-in-a-manger-songs here. This is really a great album. The accompanying musicians and arrangements are great. It's hard to make Christmas music this artistic, but she has really done it here. . What a wonderful bluesy, country, gospel album I heard this and it a struck nerve in me. I had not ever heard of Joan Osborne until I was in Barnes and Noble. It made me get up and go to the music section to ask who this was. I just love the eclectic mix of music. I think anyone who buys this Christmas album will not be disappointed. She has a wonderful rich voice. These songs were a great choice for her. Trava Davis. . You can see a complete list of all Joan Osborne discography, or go back to the Joan Osborne tabs
