With Christmas illuminating hearts around the world, what could be more satisfying than having the Isley Brothers sing to you right in your very own home. Their new yuletide offering, The Isley Brothers: I'll Be Home For Christmas, will stay in your CD player for many years to come, guaranteed. The Isley Brothers first holiday album features ten classic hits, including "Winter Wonderland," "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and "Silent Night." So, what's so special about this album compared to many other holiday albums out there? Take a guess -- Ron Isley. With his soothing voice on top of these timeless holiday tracks, it is very much a present for all to enjoy. If there are lovers out there during this Holiday season, Mr. Smooth hasn't forgotten about you. They may not be your traditional Christmas songs, but "I'm In Love With You" and "What Can I Buy You For Christmas" are both joyous songs dedicated to your special someone. "I'm In Love With You" starts with a fast jingle of Christmas bells, but then the tempo quickly changes as the bells accompany wonderful piano notes and slows down to allow Ron Isley to really get down to business -- "Looking for some pleasure, I stumbled up on treasure / A superstar baby with the heart of an angel." If you think Christmas should be about more than just material things then you and the Isleys share something in common, as displayed on "What Can I Buy You For Christmas" (don't let the title fool you, it is the complete opposite of what it sounds like). Some tracks on the album are not only very well written, but you can bet that they are executed perfectly by these veteran soul brothers. So, whether you just want to sit at home next to the fire with a hot cup of coco or you rather snuggle up with your loved one in bed; The Isley Brothers: I'll Be Home For Christmas is definitely not one to disappoint.
