 Enjoyed this CD!!!

| We have been listening to the Hope for the Holidays over and over! It inspires Holiday spirit especially, song # 15 "Silent Night" sung by Grace Hutchison and Kate Cotter. All the songs are a great blend of the different artists and singing styles (very refreshing). We are appreciative it was produced to support such a very, very worthwhile charity. |

A Truly Great Holiday CD -- Buy This Disc
Submitted on: 2009-11-03 |

I bought my copy of this CD a few weeks ago and I can't stop listening to it. It's the kind of disc that once you put it in your car's CD player, you just can't take it out. The music and production are first rate. I especially like the variety here - a real treat considering the lack thereof with many Christmas albums these days. Also, you'll find tasty musical and vocal treats in-between the more well-known artists. For example, Kate Cotter's rendition of Silent Night is breathtaking -- talk about upcoming talent!
In short, I recommend this CD highly - a great collection of songs to add to your upcoming holidays and even better, make a difference by helping those living with type 1 diabetes. Buy this disc and you won't be disappointed.

| This album is seriously awesome. Tons of people, both famous and not, coming together to support such an awesome cause. I love holiday music as it is, but some of these versions (Weezer, Creedence, collective soul....and just WAIT until you hear the Haggis Rising version of The Grinch hahahaha) are seriously fantastic. Always love hearing christmas music in new and different ways. It's October and I've already listened through it twice haha. A must have for any music enthusiast! |

| This is a great addition to my christmas collection! This is not the same old thing. It is a wonderful array of music from people who have the true spirit of Christmas in mind. Even if you don't like Christmas music, you can buy it to support JDRF. |

An amazing collection of all kinds of music for a great cause

This CD is an exceedingly enjoyable journey of all kinds of music from all kinds of musicians. There's something for everybody on this CD.
Weezer's "Come Ole Ye Faithull" is great take on the old standard with the Weezer flair, The Collective Soul's "Blue Christmas" would make "The King" tremble with fear, Creedence Clearwater Revisited's "Run Rudolph Rudolph" is brand new total rocker! Mike Love's "Santa's Going To Kokomo" is a Kokomo Christmas send up that's quite fun. The Jon Anderson of Yes track is a gorgeous version of "O Holy Night" that is inspiring. David Coverdale's of Whitesnake's long lost "T'was The Night Before Christmas" has been locked away for years until now. The opening number "Closing of the Year" (form the 1992 movie Toys) is features Mike Love and Christian Love of the Beach Boys, Fabrice Morvan of Milli Vanilli, a children's choir of Type 1 kids and over 100 orchestral and drum line musicians. Added bonus is film maker Bryan Singer's (Usual Suspects, X-men 1 & 2, Superman Returns, Valkyrie) PSA's along with some of the other name artists as well as a piano cameo on the Scottish Rock rendition of "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch."
Though the rest of the tracks aren't by as notable name artists, the are just as enjoyable, if not more. They run the gambit of rock to jazz, pop to folk and even a wee bit of ska, funk, americana and instrumental.
The CD was produced to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by a group of people out of Reno, NV. Why JDRF? Type 1 Diabetes is a very different kind of Diabetes. It's where the pancreas fails completely. So you have to have multiple painful blood checks and insulin shots daily to stay alive. Once every 2-3 hours. These families rarely sleep. Type 1 is also NOT genetic. There's nothing these kids could have done to prevent getting it. This CD is to raise awareness and support for research for the cure of all kinds of Diabetes.
