 (7 Customer Reviews)
Sarah McLachlan's WINTERSONG is a holiday album, yet it eschews the sprightly, sparkly feel of most seasonal releases. Instead, McLachlan sticks to the moody, adult contemporary folk sound for which she's known, bringing a reflective, occasionally melancholy atmosphere to a range of popular and traditional Christmas favorites. McLachlan's choice of covers is especially enjoyable; between her personal takes on "Greensleeves" and "Silent Night," she wedges emotive readings of songs by Gordon Lightfoot ("Song for a Winter's Night"), John Lennon ("Happy X-Man (War is Over)"), and Joni Mitchell ("River"). The blend of acoustic guitar, swelling synths, and the singer's wistful voice make WINTERSONG an appealing alternative to the usual holiday fare.
Personnel: Sarah McLachlan (vocals); Diana Krall.
Recording information: 2006.
Entertainment Weekly (p.85) - "WINTERSONG fully indulges McLachlan's melancholia....Gorgeously heartsick..." -- Grade: B+ Sarah McLachlan Wintersong Songs Wintersong Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Thanks Sarah!!!
Sarah in all her glory. Her voice expresses Christmas so well. A well rounded song list and instrumentation makes for a warm journey into the snowy solstice season. A special favorite of mine is "The First Noel", amidst sounds of the Holy City I can see her (the Snow Goddess she is) watching over the birth of Jesus Christ.

The best Christmas record ever!
I honestly think this is the best
record Sarah has made since Fumbling.
Really! I know that's a big call
seeing there's only one original song
on here but what she does with the
traditional Christmas songs is truly
amazing. From the Persian string
arrangements of the First Noel/Mary Mary to the Vienna Strings of O Little
Town Of Bethlehem, this album is original and beautiful. PS: The version of Silent Night is probably the
most gorgeous cover I've ever heard of
that carol. Bravo Sarah!

sarah's holiday classic a spiritual journey
Being a fan of sarah and hearing "river" for the first time while shopping in NYC, i was immediately enthralled and had to hear more. What i got was the most inspirational set of songs i have heard this year! "wintersong" itself is moving to the point of tears! Every song stands on its own and can be listened to long after the holidays pass!

This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser.
"Fallen" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
In the six years between Sarah McLachlan's 1997 outing, SURFACING, and 2003's AFTERGLOW, much happened to the Lilith Fair founder on both personal and global levels. McLachlan's daughter India was born months after the death of her mother, and, of course, there were the ripple effects of the 2001 terrorist attacks. All are addressed throughout these 10 songs, which are ensconced in the ethereal swaddling of subtle piano, acoustic guitars, and light strings.
At the heart of this Canadian chanteuse's often melancholy observations is a unwavering resiliency, whether she's finding her way through 9/11's ...

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
When Matchbox Twenty's first album became a hit, some critics lumped the band in with flash-in-the-pan rock acts of the day. What these early naysayers missed, of course, is that in vocalist Rob Thomas, Matchbox Twenty had one of the finest mainstream pop/rock songwriters in the business. Not only did Thomas rack up a string of hits with the Florida group, but he also co-penned "Smooth" from Santana's Grammy-winning 1999 comeback album, SUPERNATURAL.
With SOMETHING TO BE, his solo debut, Thomas pulls out all the stylistic stops, revealing that Matchbox Twenty's alternative-rock format provided a somewhat limited forum for his considerable talents. "Lonely No More" mixes an insistent dance beat with an insanely catchy chorus that sounds straight out of the boy-band textbook. The title track is a sly lyrical dig at poseurs of all stripes, backed by an 1980s electro-funk groove, while the burbling synths and Eastern percussion of "All That I Am" recall the world fusion experiments of Peter Gabriel and David Byrne. An ambitious effort by a guy who knows his way around a hit single, SOMETHING TO BE is the sound of an artist ...

For a young and commercially successful artist, Norah Jones has admirably avoided playing it too safe. After scoring an unlikely sales sensation and multiple Grammy award winner with 2002's torchy COME AWAY WITH ME, Jones shifted gears slightly to accent that album's country and folk elements on the 1970s-styled follow-up, FEELS LIKE HOME. Following that, Jones ...

Dwight Piper was born and raised in the enchanting South-eastern village of La Plaine, Dominica May 8, 1978. His early days were spent in the La Plaine Pentecostal church where he developed a love for God and the singing ministry. Even as little boy, Dwight preached to trees and sang with the birds and flowers. It was as though Dwight’s melodious and captivating voice would draw the attention of any living thing that heard it. His talented hands were used to create drums out of tin and plastic cans. Individuals marveled at the passion and fervor of the young, vibrant rising star. His life was molded to pattern that of his Creator, Jesus Christ, from the countless Sundays spent in Sunday school. It was there that his love for God was birthed. At high school he received introductory training in the use of musical instruments such as the drums and flute. Driven by the call of God on his life and his deep love and passion for the music ministry, at age thirteen, Dwight was one of the founding members of a gospel youth band, Survivors, at his local church. A songwriter, a lead vocalist, as well as a drummer, Dwight found his niche in the Survivors. Destined to achieve higher heights in Christ, he later became part of another gospel youth band, the New Creatures. This group embraced Dwight’s songwriting skills, as well as his percussion talent. Musical choruses prevailed wherever Dwight was present and although his music ministry appeared to be off the ground, God had greater plans for him. Thus, at age nineteen he migrated to the United States of America. Undaunted by his new home, Dwight’s dream was even more alive in his heart. Therefore, four years later, in 2002, Dwight released his debut album, Solid Rock. A man after God's own heart, Dwight realized that in order to be successful in life, Christ had to be his solid rock. Through the unwavering efforts and support of his African producer, Joe Mens, this album was able to infiltrate North America, Europe, West Africa, and the Caribbean, including the French West Indies. In 2004, Dwight traveled to England, where he met with a producer of Jet Star (Gospel Times) record label, Tony Richard (Tony Rich). There he received professional training on the reggae music form. The birth of Solid Rock brought him many opportunities to perform in a number of nationwide events. Consequently, in 2004, he received an award for outstanding performance at the Gospel Fest USA 2004 in Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. In addition, in 2005, Dwight emerged the winner at the American Gospel Icon 2005 in Florida. Motivated to spread the word of God to the ends of the earth, Dwight sought to delve deeper into God’s word. As such, in 2004, he enrolled in the Eastern Bible Institute in Irvington, New Jersey. He graduated in June 2005 with the awards for academic excellence and perfect attendance. Since his graduation from Bible School, Dwight has preached the word throughout various parts of northern, eastern, and southern USA. Additionally, he has served as a Sunday school teacher, a musician, and a worship leader at his church. Six years since the release of his debut album, Dwight is in the process of releasing his second album Perfect Peace, with all songs written and composed by him. The ...
