After two regular albums, Mary McBride turns to a seasonal collection with EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY. On it, she fronts a keyboards/guitar/bass/drums ensemble (that would be, respectively, Joe Terry, D. Clinton Thompson, producer Lou Whitney, and Bobby Lloyd Hicks), reproducing the instrumentation and much of the sound of Booker T. & the MG's. But while the music may be in the style of '60s Memphis soul, McBride herself is not particularly soulful. She has a big voice and tends to rely on its power to get her across rather than doing anything much with phrasing or nuance. The selections include some Christmas standards ("Silent Night," "Oh Come All Ye Faithful," "Do You Hear What I Hear," "O Holy Night"), a couple of originals, and, as seems to be increasingly common on holiday albums, some songs that have only a nominal relationship to the season. McBride performs both of the originals, "Christmastime" and "Bring It On," as duets with Terry, and they are effective enough to suggest there might have been more of them. (A featured duet with actor Patrick Wilson on "Do You Hear What I Hear" is more tentative.) On two of the not-exactly-Christmas-fare inclusions, Kate Rusby's "Little Jack Frost" and Leonard Cohen's over-recorded "Hallelujah," McBride affects a throaty vocal tone, her only interpretive strategy to achieve emotional expressivity. But this voice isn't really her. She is at her best when she is belting over the band, not trying to be intimate, making up in sheer power whatever she may lack in sensitivity. In fact, some of the album's most effective songs are its jazziest ones, such as the jump blues "Cool Yule" that gives Terry and Thompson some solo space, and the 1947 standard "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?," originally introduced by ...

| | Artie Lange Jack And Coke CD (2009)
Salzburg
$9.58 
For those keeping score at home: Artie Lange recorded Jack and Coke, his first comedy album, at Gotham's in New York City in the summer of 2009.which is between his relapse at the beginning of the year and before his debilitating bout with depression in the fall, one that led him to cancel his year-end concerts on the West Coast (thereby provoking the wrath of Eric the Midget, but that's a subject for another forum, preferably one run by Mutt). In other words, when Artie recorded Jack and Coke he was clean, sober, and engaged, injecting some energy into his standard set. And the material here is indeed fairly familiar to anybody who has read Too Fat to Fish or listened regularly to the Howard Stern Show -- making sure a hooker keeps clapping whenever she's out of eyesight, meeting up with Norm MacDonald to watch Bob Uecker do play by play, Chris Rock's dead-on deconstruction of the Stern show, Artie's spot-on Mike Tyson, many throwaway jokes about Benjy Bronk. Those Benjy jokes will fly over the head of anybody who isn't a Stern superfan -- and even those listeners may be hard-pressed to recognize a tweaked Rev. Bob Levy on the album cover, his face appearing under "Coke," representing his favorite vice, just like "Jack" is Artie's drug of choice -- and there are times where Jack and Coke seems entirely the province of those who already get the joke, filled with in-jokes and enough callbacks to satisfy Greg Fitzsimmons, still smarting from washing his kid's mouth out with soap. And if to that audience -- the kind that thrills to Doug Goodstein listed as Executive Producer and Scott DePace as director, the kind who this indeed is targeted to -- it's initially a bit of a disappointment to have so much of Jack and Coke cover familiar ground, remember that at some point -- not too long, actually -- Artie will retire this ...
