Vonda Shepard

A Very Ally Christmas

Disappointing Quality

Review Score:

(4/10)
I thought this would be a great CD. On the show, Vonda Shepard covers many familiar tunes, always doing so very well. I own her album of songs from the show. Having heard the included songs of this Christmas CD on the show, I thought this CD would also be a fun and enjoyable one to own. While I really can't fault the performers at all, the recording quality of this CD is mediocre at best. There is a horrendous echo in many of the songs - apparently with the purpose of making it sound as if recorded live at the firm's watering hole. Unfortunately, it just doesn't have that result. In several songs, the lead singer - whether Vonda or another cast member -- will drop into the background and be indistinguishable. The problems just go on from there. It is unfortunate that the CD's quality is so poor, for otherwise, it would be a fun and enjoyable holiday disc to add to one's collection. Definitely sample before getting.
