Bella Hardy
Bright Morning Star
Noe Records

Folk singer Bella Hardy has done a fine selection of Christmas songs for this record. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is rendered in a sprightly and fresh style with a cool vocal. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is a song done in a tender, believable way that outs the emphasis on Hardy's lovely vocals.

"Silver and Gold" is dreamy and sweet and lacks the sentimentality that it might have had. Hardy's just that good. "Merry Christmas Everyone" is rendered in a lovely fashion and Hardy's light vocal is just right. It's a fine record in every way.
