Product Description
Originally formed a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the a cappella group has reassembled and reemerged after their video for 'The 12 Days of Christmas' became a phenomenon with almost 8 million views on YouTube. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal- the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense...and with a sense of humor.

FANTASTIC Christmas CD! October 28, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This album is a PERFECT addition to your Christmas CD collection! There are classic Christmas songs, NEW Christmas songs, and twists of your favorites. You MUST listen! These guys are fantastic!!
My favorites are (of course) The 12 Days of Christmas (absolutely amazing!!!!), Santa Claus is Coming To Town, Indiana Christmas (original song that is wonderful...especially since I'm from Indiana!), and my favorite of all....Auld Lang Syne. You've never heard Auld Lang Syne arranged like this before!
It's amazing! Buy it today!!!! I'm already in the Christmas spirit and it's not even November yet! :)
This is awesome !! October 28, 2008

Straight No Chaser's "Holiday Spirits" is a must have addition to your Christmas music collection. While you may have many of these songs already in your collection, Dan Ponce and Walter Chase's arrangements and the tight a cappella harmonies Straight No Chaser fuses together are more than worth adding repeats to your collection. They also include two original songs, "Christmas Wish" and "Indiana Christmas", written by Dan Ponce the founder of the group.
Their humor is never more apparent than in their live version of "The 12 Days of Christmas", the only live song on the album. The song truly encompasses the feeling of watching them on stage, which I have been privileged to do many times throughout the 10 years since they were formed.
Give it a listen, or two, or three, add it as a permanent feature on your iPod, in your CD player, and have a Merry Christmas!

This is a wonderful Christmas CD, filled with beautiful arrangements of songs performed very well. I love acapella, but I love it when they add 'the instrumentals' through vocal work--and a lot of groups don't. If you love Rockapella, you'll find that Straight No Chaser is right in your love zone too.
Of course, 12 Days of Christmas is hilariously amazing. But it is just one of the 14 beautiful songs. I loved it on the first listen (and I usually like about half the songs on a given CD on the first listen, and gradually come to love all of them--on a good CD.)
An EXCELLENT introduction to us. And I cannot wait for their next album
(Of course, when you buy this CD, you'll also get a bonus mp3 download.)
This is a wonderful CD.
