The Season for Romance

Amazon.com
The holidays are apparently for lovers, and Lee Ann Womack presents a few new originals here, including the opening title track, to place things in the proper perspective. There's also a cover of "The Man with the Bag" that's previously only been featured on Ally McBeal: A Very Ally Christmas. Nevertheless, it's on the traditional songs--including never-can-go-wrong usual suspects like "White Christmas," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Christmas Song"--that Womack's evocative vocals come across most memorably. A "big band" album in the vein of holiday offerings from some of the greatest crooners of the '60s, this moves the 2002 Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year even further away from her country roots than her more recent pop-oriented discs did. Accordingly, Harry Connick Jr. shows up to duet with the singer on a version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" that seems destined to become a holiday staple, even if it's a bit corny. --Bill Holdship

A Chritmas Album........2007-02-08

It Has Some Realy Good Tunes In It. Great For X-Mas..

Lee Ann Womack Season for Romance.......2005-12-19

Her choice of songs are wonderful, and I was going to buy the CD, for my personal favorite, "What are you doing New Years Eve."
After listening to all the songs, I decided NOT to buy the CD as I cannot stand listening to her taking a breath, into the mic all the time. Someone should teach her about not breathing into the microphone, in other words, learn breath control. She has a beautiful voice. I wish her well and I would like to buy one of her CD's. But, the ones that I have heard are all the same.

She hopes you sing too.......2005-12-19

Lee Ann Womack puts the traditional spin back into Christmas music with this old-style country Christmas album. This is one of those “relaxing around the living room after dinner” Holiday albums, when you’re too stuffed to move a muscle.

The most corny (and forgettable) track is the duet with Harry Connick Jr., but apart from that, songs like “The Season for Romance”, “Let it Snow/Winter Wonderland”, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, and “The Christmas Song” are enough to set the mood for a lazy evening.

Relax with Lee Ann, and sing along if you can, but she doesn’t expect you to dance this time.

Like snow falling softly.......2005-12-15

Lee Ann and her creative team have come up with a lovely
seasonal album.
No rooty-to-toots on this album to jar the
jazzy, stylish, romantic ambiance.
This would be the album to listen to while drinking a glass of wine
and snuggling with your honey on the couch.
Some wonderful arrangements of familiar
tunes. Rich with guitar and piano to highlight Lee Ann's
almost sultry vocals.
Stand outs: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.
Forever Christmas Eve.
A jaunty The Man With The Bag
and a great version of What Are You Doing Christmas Eve.
I was surprised by the non-traditional route she took.
Many of the country artist christmas cds I have tend to
go for tried and true arrangements.
I hope she tackles a cd of the american songbook sometime.

NOT TOO BAD........2002-12-23

She is a country star, right? However listening to this cd you realize that she does not have any boundaries.
She takes a lot of Christmas standards and does not turn them into country standards, but uses some jazz.
Her rendetion of BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE is by far the sexiest version of that song I have heard in a long time. Her duet with Harry Connick, Jr for BABY... sizzles. There is so much warmth and sexuality coming from this song. She uses her very smoky and sensual voice on her version of HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHIRSTMAS. I love the strumming on the drum on this song. On WHITE CHRISTMAS you feel like you are sitting somewhere in a jazz club. She keeps very true to the original by not altering the whole feel of the song. There is also a sense of childness and fun with the song THE MAN WITH THE BAG. The only problem I have with the cd is her version of SILENT NIGHT. It sounds slightly miscued. It seems the music is going faster than her. Then the biggest mistake on this song is the use of a saxaphone. It ruins the beauty and the majesty of this song.
Overall it is a good cd to have for Christmas. She proves that she is more than just country music.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Sheer Beauty.......2001-11-01

This CD has been in my walkman for weeks
Wonderful short melodic piano pieces in unusual time signatures
Reminiscent of Satie's gymnopaedies (if that's how it's spelt)
Listen to this and Yoshimatsu's piano concerto
At last modern music that actually communicates on an
emotional level!
