There is something about the simplicity of Christmas music when it is performed simply and without too much variation from the way we have always been used to hearing it . Aled Jones , with this album , has made what is the perfect soundtrack for the next few weeks , setting up the tree , hanging the decorations , gulping down the mulled wine and falling asleep on Christmas afternoon . I bought this CD last week and we have played it every morning and every night since . It's simplicity is it's beauty , it's the only Aled Jones album I have , more than anybody (and there are a lot of singers making these Christmas themed albums ) , I thought he would be the one that would understand and respect the songs as they should be performed , having been singing this type of repetoire for what must be 30 years (I have no idea how old he is , so this is just a guess!) .Real music for a real Christmas , aside from my Christmas from Kings CD , this is all we need.Happy Christmas !!
