Avis sur le produitBarenaked for the Holidays by Barenaked Ladies (CD, Oct-2004, Nettwerk)

Barenaked for the Holidays Must Have

I know it's over 10 years old but wow. This is such a wonderful, eclectic holiday collection, with guest singers like Michael Buble (famously on "Elf's Lament") and Sarah McLauchlin ("We Three Kings"). BNL take some standards and make them their own, and they have created some superb originals. They are so incredibly gifted. This is really a cool cd to have in your holiday music collection along with Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra, Wheezer, or Kelly Clarkson. Barenaked for the Holidays is most unique and entertaining. Even if it's just background music. Or even if it's not Christmas. Lire l'avis complet...

Put this is Somebody's Stocking

The Ladies are always right on the money and this is no exception. It is a far cry from their appeance on an Ann Murray Christmas special years ago. They do a lot of standard Christmas songs and carols. They even toss in a couple of Hanukkah tunes. The musicianship is tight as usual; Steven's vocals are amazing.

One of the true gems on this CD is "Elf's Lament". It talks about the problems of being an elf in Sanata's workshop and would a great anthem for a union organizing effort at the North Pole.

While the CD is terrific, even better is to see BNL's Christmas show. They do about 70 percent of their regualr stuff and 30 percent Christmas tunes. When I saw them, their opening band was The LeeVees, who did all Hanukkah stuff ... very funny.

While Steven could sing a grocery list and sound amazing, he did a version of "Silent Night" that is nothing shy of operetic.

Buy this CD, toss back a couple egg nogs and wait for the fat man to slip down the chimney. It's well worth it.Lire l'avis complet...

Fun, lighthearted and zany.

This is a marvelous collection of Christmas (and some Hanukkah) songs with quite a few originals thrown in as well. The first track starts off very serene and then turns into the most raucous version of 'Jingle Bells' you ever heard. 'Elf's Lament' is a wonderful Ed Robertson tune, featuring Michael Buble. 'Deck the Stills' is very clever and always puts a smile on my face. The disc concludes with the best version of 'Auld Land Syne' I've ever heard in my life. Any true BNL fan should love this album.Lire l'avis complet...

Alternative Holiday Mix!

I first heard Track #10 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings (with Sarah McLachlan). I wondered who was singing at first, then heard Sarah M. I had to find out where the song came from. I then bought the CD on eBay.
I have since listened to it a few times. I had never listened to Bare Naked Ladies before, but I really enjoy their voices! I really like the mixture this CD brings!

I still especially like God Rest Ye...!Lire l'avis complet...

Very good Christmas season CD

not their best album but ok

I really wanted to like this as I do like almost all of their albums.

Some of the songs, like "jingle bells" are truly awful. Others are more upbeat. There is a nice mix of christmas and Hunakah songs.

Overall this is nowhere near as good as their regular albums. It sounds like their hearts were not into making this one. Or possibly some of them were drunk or under the influence of something while making it.

I can't complain though since I got it for such a great price. Even one or two good songs makes it worth it.Lire l'avis complet...
