XO FOR THE HOLIDAYS
This is the fifth year in a row we've gotten "XO For The Holidays" and, whether a year's collection is short or long, every cut is Prime Grade A Choice. This year's collection features 9 tracks (the ninth is still pending, so feel free to wait on downloading until it arrives) including annual fave Piney Gir. There's a fuzzy "What Child" from Magnuson and a downtempo kind of depressing take on "White Christmas" from Robert Burnham. The rest are originals, sparkling like crystals in the new fallen snow. (???? Yeah, so anyway...) I'll spare the suspence and tell you that "Maybe Next Christmas" from Blue Skies for Black Hearts is my favorite new Christmas song of the year, so far.
And, if you've missed the fun up until now, you can always go back and check out the previous volumes in the series. Just head on over to XO and get you some.
