  • From Christmas Eve to Christmas Morn
    author: Tanya

    I heard the "Michigan Christmas" song on the radio and had to find out the artist immediately. It brought tears to my eyes and made me miss my sister who used to live in Saginaw. I had to buy one for her and my dad too, since they traded their MI Christmas for AZ sun! The whole CD is fresh and delightfully different than traditional Christmas CD's. I love the jazz/blues sound and the originality. A must buy for your Christmas collection! All arrived promptly in excellent condition from CD Baby.

    author: john baker

    Fantastic!! Being a Michigander - It brought a tear to my eye. My bother and sister in Texas both heard this song and told mr that it brought back their fondest memories of Christmas home in Detroit and here in Grand Rapids with us. Bravo!

    author: Trudy Peitsch

    Love the whole album but especially Michigan Christmas just sent one to my son in Texas who misses a Saginaw, Michigan Christmas

    This song sums up the "REAL" Michigan Christmas aura!! And Mike McArdle is a true character in the song. Go 2008 Detroit Tigers!! Bring us a world series championship in 2008. That would be the best Chrismas gift since 1984!! GREAT SONG

  • From Christmas Eve to Christmas Morn
    author: Denyse Clayton

    Brian D'Arcy James' voice is like butter! This is a beautiful Christmas CD to have on while at home or travelling in the car. My favorite song is 'Michigan Christmas'. We are from Michigan and I bought 2 extra copies for my kids who are grown and live out of state.

  • From Christmas Eve to Chrismas Morn
    author: Deb Gontko Klein

    This is a wonderful Chrismas CD!! I love the Michigan Christmas song since I am from Saginaw MI it brings chills to me everytime I hear it! The lyrics are so great! My kids love it as well!

  • Great cd, Michigan Christmas was my favorite
    author: Linda

    Very good CD, really liked all the original Christmas songs an especially Michigan Christmas. My family is from Saginaw, Michigan so I bought two, one for my brother in Fl. and one for myself.

  • Fantastic!
    author: Dave Mikolajczak

    Great Christmas CD by a local artist! The Michigan Christmas song is extremely meaningful to all Michiganders.

  • great cd
    author: marilyn wedel

    The cd traveled to georgia where my 4 kids live. We played michigan xmas before opening gifts, it was a very special moment for our family.

  • Michigan Christmas is Wonderful
    author: Wendy

    The CD is Great... I have a daughter in Colorado, and we're from Michigan so the Michigan song brought tears to both of us.. It's such a beautiful song... Thank you Brian...

  • Wonderful Music - Especially the New Songs - Santa...Tonight and Michigan Christ
    author: K Beckman

    The songs on this CD are wonderful. They give Christmas the touch of jazz that brings it to life. The traditional songs are very lively. My favorites, though, are the 3 songs written by Mr. James: From Christmas Eve to Christmas Morn, Santa Claus is Coming Tonight and Michigan Christmas. I could listen to them all year 'round.

  • What a wonderful Christmas CD!
    author: Barbara

    Great Christmas CD! Brian D'arcy James does a terrific rendition of Deck the Halls and Joy to the World. Very upbeat and jazzy. A refreshing twist on some of the classics. My favorite song though is Michigan Christmas. It gives me chills every time I listen to it. It's a great song about being with family for the holidays. This is my new favorite holiday CD!

  • Wonderful CD! Timeless Classic!
    author: Ashley

    Brian's CD will play constantly in my home. I enjoy the music and it will definatley become a timeless classic!

  • A Blast From The Past!
    author: Todd

    If you don't already have it, stop the waiting! It's a great mix of classic songs with a new twist. Stylized like the old crooners with a new age punch. A real knockout!

  • old songs (except for one) with very nice arrangements!
    author: nlb

    The new song, Michigan Christmas, is especially pretty, particularly if you're from Michigan. The other songs are done very well - up beat and fun. You'll like it - buy it!

  • Great - a very good Christmas CD
    author: Tom

    I enjoyed the song selection, instrumentation and vocals. It has a lot of zip to it. Not just a rehash of the same old songs.

  • The CD was very good - very satisfied

    The Chrsitmas songs were great. Brian has a beautiful voice.

  • Great original Christmas album
    author: Carolyn

    Brian's voice is great - I found myself thinking that even more orchestral backup could be added, and his voice can certainly support it. Feels sort of like sitting in at a nightclub act (gee, should have guessed from the CD cover!)

  • A great voice on some standards with three great new songs,
    author: JMF

    Brian is one of my favorite performers. I love Michigan Christmas and his other new songs, and he is terrific on White Christmas. However, some of the selections are too jazzy if that's not your style.

  • A Real Original Christmas Record!
    author: bhg1955

    Christmas records have become too generic and uninspired, with any top selling pop artist banging one out on summer vacation. From Christmas Eve to Christmas Morn actually sounds like the artist sat down and thought about how he feels about Christmas musically. None of the standards sound dull and the original songs are full of humor. Brian D'Arcy James actually knows how to sing and hopefully he will not be a stranger in the recording studio!

  • Fantastic music!
    author: Sue

    This is now my favorite Christmas CD. Our family listens to it in the house, on the road, whenever we can. Our favorite song is, of course, Michigan Christmas! Having grown up on the Blvd, mentioned in the song, it has special meaning.

  • What a nice change from Jingle Bells!
    author: Kevin

    We are truly enjoying this CD - as the wonderful Chrsitmas Season gets closer each day! We have seen all the shows Mr. d'Arcy has been in and we appreciate his talent!

  • I absolutely love this cd.
    author: Jennifer

    This is now one of my favorite Christmas cd's. It gives you a taste of Broadway with the a fun holiday zing. This is one cd that will follow me everywhere this holiday season.

  • author: Gerard

    Mr James has never sounded better...I love this c.d. It is always nice to sprinkle in some new songs...but to include such wonderful holiday standards and pair them with such an incredibly pure voice is "music to my ears"...I couldn't pick just one, because it seemed to me that I was hearing some of these standards for the first time...original...I loved it

  • Mr. James is in great voice.
    author: Rick

    Mr. James is in great voice and the arrangements compliment it well. The jazz flavor of some of these renditions give old standards a fresh sound. My only complaint is that the disc is too short, but this seems common among Christmas albums.

  • Great album
    author: Michael

    A great classic holiday album - fun, energetic arrangements and stellar vocals. My favorite is What Child Is This. The most beautiful version I've ever heard. A definite holiday favorite for a long time...

  • amazing first effort from Broadway star Brian d'Arcy James
    author: Kai

    Brian d'Arcy James' first solo album is amazing! He has managed to jazz up and make completely new and innovative versions of a lot of holiday standards like "Deck the Halls" and "Joy to the World" (if you thought it wasn't possible to tap your feet to "Deck the Halls", think again!) and brings a heartbreaking sincerity to the ballads like "Silent Night" and "What Child Is This". But by far the strongest tracks on this record are Brian's originals, "From Christmas Eve to Christmas Morn", "Santa Claus is Coming Tonight" and "Michigan Christmas", which will warm your heart whether you're from Michigan or Massachusetts... cause we all "want to be home with our families" at Christmas! Brian's Broadway fans will be very surprised to hear a side of Brian they've never heard before... he does some amazing pop vocals and at times shades of Billy Joel's Innocent Man album shine through, both vocally and musically (particularly in "Santa Claus is Coming Tonight", one of Brian's new songs). Overall, a fantastic first album and THE Christmas album to buy this year!
