Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Jewel has concocted an intriguing and at times beautifully inspired holiday album, playing it straight with a big orchestra and backing voices for the first half of the record with standards such as "Joy to the World", "Winter Wonderland", "Silent Night", as well as a lovely rendition of "Ave Maria". Things finally get sparkling in the last half where Jewel does a low-key, kid version of "Rudolph" and sings her own compositions. Her moving "Face of Love" and "Hands" are certain to become holiday standards, capable of being sung in a country, pop, gospel, or R&B vein and deserving of an audience as wide as the nation itself. The record's centrepiece, however, seems to be a six-minute-plus medley that mixes "Go Tell It on the Mountain" with the recent hit "From a Distance" and her own "Life Uncommon". Nonetheless, her stunning adaptation of "Gloria" inspired, in part, by Bach's B-Minor Mass, two tracks later is as powerful and lovely a Christmas vocal performance as you will find anywhere. Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin, Joy is destined to become a holiday classic. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern Christmas Classic, 12 Nov 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Jewel presents a Christmas CD that is both traditional and at the same time new, and is pure magic to listen to.

The first half of the CD is traditional songs, both sacred and secular, performed in a mostly traditional fashion. The beauty of this section is that the arrangements are minimalist and unique, making them seem fresh even if we've listened to other people do them every year of our lives. I especially like the guitar on "O Holy Night." And, as you'd expect, Jewel's voice shines on every song.

The second half gets into more uncharted territory, but it's still great stuff. She does two almost a cappella duets with her mother on "Rudolph" and "I Wonder as I Wander." The first one is great fun. My only complaint with the second is that they repeat the first verse three times instead of doing the other two verses.

We also get some original songs in the second half. My favorite is "Face of Love," which again features a duet with her mom. It talks about a life changed because of seeing the baby Jesus. "Life Uncommon" (featured in a melody) and "Hands" both encourage us to spread the joy all year round. I wasn't aware at first listen that "Gloria" was original. Written in Latin, it sounds like some classical music you'd hear this time of year.

I didn't get this CD until last year, but it felt like Christmas right away. If you've enjoyed Jewel's other music, even marginally, get it. You'll enjoy it for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jewel's back with another stunning album!, 20 Nov 2000
If you like 'Pieces of You' and 'Spirit', then Christmas need not be littered with boring mono toned hymns. 'Joy' offers a freshness that is unique to Jewel's stunning voice and charisma. 'Face of Love',which she co- sings with her Mother Nedra Carroll, and 'Gloria' are brand new tracks. Produced by Arif Mardin, this glowing feast offers warmth and timeless magical melodies and sounds, but also keeps a traditional bite for the true meaning of Christmas. Once again Jewel impresses us with her versatile talent, but displays she can pay justice to songs written by others and known to us all.

sick of those cheesy christmas hits? This is a great alternative - plus she can sing! Ave Maria is incredibly beautiful, and i can't help but smile at Rudolph. The music to O little town - reminds me of the East...
