Once, country artists used Christmas albums as an opportunity to create versions of holiday classics suitable for airplay on country radio. In the late `90s, country artists used holiday albums as an opportunity to stretch artistically--and that usually meant recording with a full orchestra. Martina McBride`s WHITE CHRISTMAS, her first holiday collection, is a fine example of this trend. It finds McBride, a singer of astonishing talent and power, cradling her amazing voice in lush orchestral arrangements which occasionally, as on a track like "Let It Snow," turn whimsical. The material here is strictly classic Christmas, from secular favorites like "Silver Bells," and "I`ll Be Home For Christmas" to religious ones like "What Child Is This" and "Away In A Manger."
In an attempt to mimic classic Christmas albums of the past, there`s a vocal choir on many tracks, but McBride`s voice is so breathtaking that you find yourself wishing they`d just be quiet and let her do all the singing. Thankfully, on the standout track, "O Holy Night," the arranger wisely lets her soaring vocals go solo. WHITE CHRISTMAS` true appeal is the warmth and emotion McBride manages to bring to Christmas standards the listener has heard countless times.
