Watching the Snow album for sale Product Description
Watching the Snow album for sale by Michael Franks was released Oct 09, 2007 on the Koch (USA) label. To call Michael Franks schmaltzy is like calling Santa Claus jolly, but what sets him apart from his contemporaries is his ability to deliver each clever yet wince-inducing rhyme with a wink. Watching the Snow is comfort food with all the trimmings, and it's a testimony to Franks' laid-back demeanor and subtle humor that an entire record of original holiday songs can complement a snowy December day rather than accentuate its forced seasonal cheer. Watching the Snow CD music contains a single disc with 10 songs. ...See Full Description

| Fresh and enoyable! I was so delighted when I first heard this disc played in full on the radio and even more so when it was immediately followed by an encore spin. The lyrics are as fresh as the new fallen snow. The groove is jazzy and tropical and makes it feel like Christmas on some deserted isle. No need to listen to the same old carols. Put this one in your player, get yourself some hot cocoa and schnapps and chill out next to the fire. By btcmi (Yorba Linda, CA) |
| wonderfull Michael A really nice album. Franks is still one of the most sensitive composer around today. By riccardofr1961 (Rome - Italy)  This review is for a different format. |
| Good Sound and lyrics BUT due to the copy protection on this cd it - doesnt play in my High End hifi equipment ! - doesnt play with my BOSE car hifi system ! It only plays with my new DVD Player. I have the same experience with the other CDs i purchased. I think this will hurt the business of cd stores like cd universe.

| Maturing soulfully This is how we would like to hear Michael ageing. No sequensers or tacky programming, but soulful warm jazz. His writing is still in shape, and his phrasing and time has become even better. In his lyrics he often alters melancholy, metaphors for love making, with a humouristic twist. But isn´t a shame that You have to order the album from Japan? I ordered it directly from his website, and had it a couple of weeks before christmas in Stockholm.
