A Christmas album that only a mother could love. ...or a die-hard Nylons fan.

CD Reviews
Weak vocals, and a tad off-key

"I purchased both this CD and the 'One Size Fits All' album. Although all the songs were interesting and fun to listen to, the vocals on 'The Nylons' were weak and a little bit off-key. I was disappointed with the album. BUT, the 'One Size Fits All' album was much crisper and the voices were much better blended and in-tune on all the songs. Given a choice between these two, the 'One Size' album obviously 'Fits All' I expect in vocals and a cappela singing...I'd suggest you consider that one before this one."
Turned me onto the Nylons

"This album was the one that brought me to love the Nylons. A Million Ways has a softness and flow to the chords that is unrivaled. Somethin' Bout Cha is impossible to not groove into. It's a great song. This is the original foursome at their best. I would rather have this album than any of the others."
Nobody Runs Like The Nylons!

"If you don't know who The Nylons are, you have been missing out! This self-titled debut album (1982) features this Canadian a cappella group's signature sound with songs like "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Up On the Roof." The infectious du-wop sound and stellar vocals make this an album anyone can enjoy. Using only percussion and incredible vocal talent, this group delivers. If you like a cappella groups, you'll love The Nylons. If you don't, this album will hook you for life. Run on out and buy it."
