If you are a Hall and Oats fan, and have a pulse you are going to love this CD. This is the best Christmas CD I have ever listened to. I love Darryl Hall's vocals and when he adds some blues into the mix, it's really the best! Track #8 is just one of my favorites, and it will get you on your feet. Love, love , love this album.

Hall and Oates at their best. Musical flair, melodic interpretations mixed genres and great production. This album is a treat. If you like Hall and Oates -you will like the album. If you like gospel music - you will like the album. If you like interesting and fresh Christmas album, buy this one today... It is my current favorite.

Daryl and John were very inspired when they worked on that album.
I could count on a lot of good surprises when I bought HFC.
First, the original tracks: "Home for Christmas" and "No child should ever cry on Christmas", they are very good! They can stand out among all those traditional ones, great work.
I couldn't tell which are my favorite tracks, it's quite difficult, since they are all so good.
John does an amazing job when singing "The Christmas song", his voice is perfect for it, completely soft, just like the song.
"Children go where I send thee" allowed Daryl to show how his voice gets better with time, he's giving us his best, I'm sure.
"Jingle Bell Rock" has found its best interpretation now (compared to the several ones it has), it's even better that the one Daryl and John recorded in the 80's.
Believe it, this album is amazing!

Enjoyable Christmas CD, with pattent Hall and Oats soul added. Best cut, their classic version of Jingle Bell Rock.

The arrangements on this CD are great, and of course Daryl Hall's voice lends a very soulful feeling to "Jingle Bell Rock" and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear". This album also contains one of the very best renditions of "Oh Holy Night" I've ever heard. Unfortunately, whoever produced or mixed the album decided to start the CD tracks in the middle of songs (after the instrumental intros, at the start of the vocals). This also means that each track ends with the intro to the next song, making each song hard to listen to individually. If you skip to your favorite track, you won't hear the start of it. So forget about using these tracks on your holiday mix CD - or was that the point of starting the tracks in the wrong places?
