David Archuleta's anachronistic jazz-pop vocals sufficiently charmed the AMERICAN IDOL watching world in 2008 that the teen singer made it to the final two. Fittingly, he wastes no time to release his first holiday celebrating LP one year later, a comfortable collection of (mostly) well-traveled standards. Archuleta joins forces with another youthful pop singer, as Filipino internet sensation Charice Pampengco adds her voice to the ever-duet-ready classic "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
In a sense, David Archuleta should have skipped his awkward contemporary pop album and jumped right into Christmas from the Heart: he was born to slickly sing sentimental standards, which is all he does here. Apart from one song sung in Spanish and "Ava Maria," in Latin, there are no surprises here either in song selection or execution, but Archuleta is comfortable in such a familiar setting, singing in a friendly, eager-to-please fashion that will win him no new fans but will surely please all the old ones, especially those who loved him on American Idol and wondered why there were so many drum loops on his 2008 debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Christmas From The Heart Music | List Price | $13.94 (You save $1.19) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Christmas CDs, Christmas/ Chanukkah | | Label | 19 Recordings | | Orig Year | 2009 | | All Time Sales Rank |  80803  | | CD Universe Part number | 8002369 | | Catalog number | 757494 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Oct 13, 2009 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Richard Parkinson; Emanuel Kiriakou; John Lee Hancock; Jeff Archuleta; Kurt Bestor; Sam Cardon | | Engineer | Emanuel Kiriakou; Aaron Hubbard; John Lee Hancock; Michal Pekárek; Michael Greene | | Personnel | Jeff Bova - strings

Christmas From The Heart
$17.09
1967-1968 rarites that never saw the light of day-until now. Includes rare home demos & studio recordings, & early renditions of material that appeared on their ‘69 swansong ‘If Only For A Moment’. Ranging from delicate ballads to heavy psychedelic rock, the set is a veritable treasure trove for the bands legion of admirers.
Personnel: Brian Godding (guitar); Brian Belshaw (bass guitar).
Liner Note Author: Brian Godding.
When Blossom Toes' sole two LPs were known only by a small cult of late-'60s British psychedelic rock collectors, whoever would have guessed that well over two additional albums of material would eventually gain official release? Yet that's what Sunbeam has done by adding a wealth of bonus cuts to CD reissues of the two Blossom Toes long-players; putting out a two-CD set of live recordings; and now, with the What on Earth: Demos & Outtakes 1967-1969 compilation, pouring on yet another anthology of mostly hitherto unavailable material (though a half-dozen of the demos did previously appear as bonus cuts on those Sunbeam reissues of the two albums). Taken from home tapes and acetates, mostly these 17 tracks are demos done in the period between 1967's We Are Ever So Clean and 1969's If Only for a Moment, with a few late-'60s studio outtakes included as well.
The Brian Godding-penned home tape-sounding cuts (the liner notes aren't specific as to the origins of each track), including an acoustic demo of the non-LP single "Postcard," show a much lighter side than either of the two official LPs -- even than We Are Ever So Clean, which itself was on the whimsical side of 1967 psychedelia. Sometimes skirting vaudeville or breezy folk-jazzy pop, they're nice wistful pieces -- "Looking Up I'm Looking Back" even faintly recalls the early Bee Gees -- but it's ultimately not as strong as, or even too similar to, the two ...
