REVIEWS & COMMENTS
Music Row

In the December issue of our esteemed publication,
you’ll find my countdown of fave holiday discs. After repeated listening,
Michael McDonald remains my first choice…And, I’m happy to report that
there’s one more that has become a staple this season at our house. It is
the Dobie Gray CD. In a word, it’s spectacular. The man is singing more
soulfully than ever. Half the CD contains his excellent, newly composed
holiday songs.
The other half is traditional. It’s all-glorious.
Somebody give this CD the massive national distribution it deserves.

Songs of the Season is to Christmas
present, what Currier and Ives legendary images were and are to Christmas
past.
Performances that open the hearth of the heart to
absorb you. The flood of wonderful holiday memories that result, come from
that spiritual place we all hold deep within us. Gently reminding us we
should spend more time there, no matter the season. Songs from the
present, as well as ages past, sung by a voice for all time...Dobie Gray!

Not everyone can sing Christmas songs with sincerity...Dobie
can! This music will be “like new” every holiday season. It’s timeless.

The sincerity and honesty in his voice brings the
seasonal standards into a new comfort zone. Add to that, some original
compositions, and you’ve got the perfect blend of the old and the new.
Songs of the holidays are designed to fill us with emotions. There’s no
better way to listen to them than the Dobie Gray way.

In songs like “Decorate the Night” and “Child”, Dobie
Gray fills your heart with the peace, hope and joy of the season.
Songs of the Season is an excellent combination of Dobie’s
originals and the traditional Christmas songs we already know and love.
Gray’s genuine talent and sincere personality comes
shining through in this CD. Our listeners love it !!!!”

Without a doubt, Dobie Gray’s Christmas CD
Songs of the Season is one of the best Christmas projects I have
ever heard. Gray’s blending of the traditional pieces with the original
songs is outstanding. His impeccable voice does justice to each song in a
way only reserved for a true vocal craftsman.

At Christmas time, it will be Songs Of The Season,
Dobie and Nat will be on the box together. Great song selection and that
great “Drift Away” voice. What a combination. A great holiday album!

Dobie Gray’s Songs of the Season CD is
definitely a keeper for our station. And while Dobie’s voice is not a
stranger to our 70’s format station, it was great having and hearing a new
voice for some of the Christmas traditionals like “Joy to the World”. And
lest we forget to mention his wonderful newly composed
cuts like “Decorate the Night” and “Welcome Home”.
The City Paper / Ron

Gray nicely applies his impressive voice and delivery
to an arresting mixture of originals and traditional carols and hymns on
his Christmas disc. Whether he’s performing “Silent Night” and “O’ Little
Town of Bethlehem,” or doing his own excellent cuts such as “This Is a
Time for Love,” “Child” and “Home,” Dobie Gray’s vocals are consistently
stirring and memorable.
