Review

Fans of Linda Eder's Christmas album will find plenty to enjoy in On This Night, the first Christmas album of Sam Harris, as the former Star Search star turned Broadway performer delivers a rock-solid and diverse 37-minute collection. There are a number of standards--"The First Noel" with a gospel choir, "The Little Drummer Boy" with tribal percussion, "Angels We Have Heard on High" in a rich a cappella setting--but Harris also contributes some originals: the warm pop tune "All I Need This Christmas," the rocking "Santa's Blues," the haunting title song (a lament for what has happened to religion since the first Christmas night), and the anthem "A World of Difference" (celebrating the global community). Back on more familiar ground, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," accompanied by piano, is sung with all the beautiful simplicity it deserves, before "O Holy Night," also with a gospel choir, provides a majestic conclusion. --David HoriuchiTWO CD SET "On This Night" and "Different Stages" "ON THIS NIGHT": From the Artist, SAM HARRIS: This is a collection of traditional and original holiday songs that I hope capture not only the spirit of the season, but the hope and inspiration of our times. It includes the gospelized "The First Noel", the front porch home sound of "Chestnuts", "Little Drummer Boy" accompanied only by tribal percussion, a simple piano/vocal of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Angels We Have Heard on High" with me doing a five part vocal sound, and a choir infused "O Holy Night." I wrote four songs for the CD including the pop "All I Need This Christmas is You" (co-written with Todd Schroeder) which I recently sang on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, "Santa's Blues", "On This Night" about returning to the source of Christmas, and "A World of Difference", which I wrote about a new time of brotherhood and unity. I hope you enjoy it. - Sam Harris
