From the snippets I head, this CD sounds tight, and I'm not really into this type of music but I was really feeling it. It's a unique but committed, Sarah twist to the traditional Christmas songs.

Good album... track number 7 is out of this world!

BeatPort.com is having a remix contest for that specific song right now.

I know I'm late, but I bought this album today. I wasn't going to get it, but it was one of those impulse buys when I was out doing some Christmas shopping. I was really impressed by it. Sarah has such a unique sound, and she's chosen some songs that really suit her voice. "River" and "Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)" are great.

I also think "The First Noel/Mary Mary" is nuts - I love how she moves seemlessly back and forth between the two songs; it's very well done. I also really like her version of Gordon Lightfoot's "Song For A Winter's Night", it's really well done. Including "Christmas Time Is Here" on the album is pretty random, but it really fits with all of the other songs.

Overall, Sarah has done a really nice job with this album and I really like it, even though I'm not really a Sarah fan at all.
