Christmas music is an uneasy genre to define and review. Defined by the season in which it is played rather than by any ordinary considerations of genre, it slips easily into trite sentimentalism and commercial opportunism. The result of the latter is the awkward sound of artists who seem to have little in common with the season performing ‘Christmasy’ tunes as though outfitted in a too-tight pair of trousers.
Debby Boone does better on Home for Christmas, but you have to really like Debby Boone if you’re going to reallly like this Christmas album.
Highly produced and accompanied, this is Lawrence Welk on Christmas for the late 80’s. Boone has a silky-smooth voice, authentic presentation and a remarkable orchestra behind her.
But if you want a little edge, you won’t find it here. You’ll find easy-listening Christmas staples, well performed and possible to forget in time for the morning of January 2.
Excellent background music for the Christmas holidays that won’t rock your world. That’s all. But that can be good.
