Sarah McLachlan has created a true holiday classic with Wintersong. She imbues this splendid 12-song collection--the first holiday album of her multi-platinum career--with peerless interpretive skill and exquisite musicianship. Wintersong is Sarah's first new studio album since Afterglow, released November 2003.
Reviews:
''Wintersong'' is a Grammy-nominated album of Christmas songs by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan, released in October 2006. It was produced by longtime collaborator Pierre Marchand and includes contributions from Jim Creeggan of Barenaked Ladies. The album also includes a duet with Jazz musician Diana Krall. - Wikipedia
The Lilith lady's first-ever holiday offering starts poignantly with an adaptation of John and Yoko's "Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)"' and then descends into brutal death metal. Just kidding. McLachlan's been curiously silent for the last three years, but focuses Wintersong on sad, bittersweet holiday music (Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night").
