MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS CD THIS YEAR IS…..
Jay Laga'aia's CHRISTMAS
AT JAY'S PLACE
RRP $14.99
Following his
well earned ARIA nomination (which I still think he should have won), the ever
popular Jay Laga'aia brings us his latest festive celebration
album with all the cherished favourite Christmas songs, in his own inimitable
style.
As always Jay
and his harmonious voice (with in islander twist) wins me over every time. It
is not often I will listen to Christmas Carols as working in an office for a
year that played Christmas Carols for Two months leading up to Christmas
absolutely killed me and turned me off them something shocking.
But when I
was sent Jay Laga'aia's CHRISTMAS AT JAY'S PLACE
For
review purposes I thought I better listen in with the girls just to see their
reactions and what they thought of the CD. It is fair to say I stayed in their
room and listened to this CD with them right until the last song. The girls
were all danced out and ready for sleep, so I tucked them in and called it a
night- but not before I took the CD out of their player in their room.
I then went
and retired in my room only to listen to a few tracks again, before falling
asleep to Silent Night. I remember because I was in that light sleep and then
when it finished I woke up in a shock and then turned it off and went to sleep.
The three
tracks that I LOVE from this CD would certainly have to be-
- Silent Night
- Santa Claus is coming to town
- 12 Days Of Kindy
As always Jay adds his twist to all these songs and the truly have that islander feel to it. This reminds me of the days in NZ when we all sat around the fire and somebody would have an acoustic playing away and covering bands with their own twists. I love Jays voice and love his takes on these songs.
Hayley plays
