| | Ilene Weiss Weiss Christmas CD Ilene Weiss Discography of CDs
"Weiss Christmas" is a singularly unique holiday release from one-of-a-kind singer/songwriter Ilene Weiss.Weiss, originally from Philadelphia and now residing in New York, has long been recognized for her uncanny ability to create and perform songs that convey her unique perspective on the state of the universe. With "Weiss Christmas," she turns her attention toward Dec. 25th and everything associated with it. From the hallowed ("The Day A Baby Was Born") to the hilarious ("Santa Rap"), this CD stands out as an original. Guest appearances from Anne Hills, Loudon Wainwright and the Roches."Like Jesus, I was born a Jew and do not call myself a Christian. Unlike Jesus, I have no apostles (that I know of). Not since childhood synagogue and Hebrew school attendance have I been a regular paricipant in any organized religion. I'm kind of a crusty God-is-Love type, attracted to universal principles that, in their unadulterated-by-the-worst-of-human-natural state, pop up in all the world faiths..."-- Ilene Weiss, from the liner notes

Georgia's Sugarland rose to great heights in 2009 - their 2008 album LOVE ON THE INSIDE reached platinum status, they recorded a prime-time network television special called LIVE ON THE INSIDE, which was then released in numerous packages that all sold well, and the group has sold out live shows globally. Therefore it seems to make sense for the group to release yet another stop-gap before the year runs out in lieu of a new studio album. GOLD AND GREEN is a hybrid holiday recording. It contains ten tracks, five of which are Christmas standards including a country boogie version of "Winter Wonderland," a "backwoods" "O Come O Come Emmanuel," and a steeped-in-reverence acoustic version of "Silent Night," sung bilingually in Spanish and English. The other five cuts are originals themed for the holidays. One has to give Sugarland some marks for trying to do something different than a standard-issue Christmas album.
