Vocalist Josh Groban delivers his first Christmas themed album with 2007's Noel. Once again produced by longtime "man behind the curtain" David Foster, the album features more of Groban's dewy, supple vocals set to Foster's cinematic orchestrations. As per the holiday-theme, these are primarily classic tunes of the season including such chestnuts as "Silent Night", "Ave Maria" and, of course, "The Christmas Song". However, also included are a few lesser known traditional songs as "Panis Angelicus" and "Angels We Have Heard On High. Similarly, while most of the productions here should appeal to longtime fans of Groban's particular classical-crossover sound, some cuts like soft-rock inflected "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" and the celtic-folk leaning "Little Drummer Boy" do expand upon the Groban/Foster palette in a pleasing way. Notably, also showcased here are guest appearances by country superstar Faith Hill, R&B stalwart Bryan McKnight, and perennial holiday backing band The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
