| | Sarah McLachlan Wintersong CD Sarah McLachlan Discography of CDs
 (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 ... Full Descriptionmelancholy 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+ Hide Description 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 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 breaking out.
This release, produced by Matt Serletic, is the first solo album by the former lead singer of matchbox 20. 12 audio tracks are included bplus 20 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, and bonus song.
Personnel include: Rob Thomas (vocals, piano); Heitor Pereira, Jeff Trott, John Mayer , Mike Campbell, Wendy Melvoin, Kevin Kadish (guitar); Hasan Isakut (kanun); Dan Willis (duduk); Frank London (shofar); Brandon Fields (saxophone); Gary Grant (trumpet); Reginald Young (trombone); Matt Serletic ...

Wintersong music CDs
$15.89
On 2005's CHRISTMAS SONGS, Diana Krall applies her sultry vocals and nuanced piano lines to a strong set of holiday classics. In addition to turning in a stirring performance of "The Christmas Song" that would make Nat "King" Cole proud, Krall eases into a swaying version of "Winter Wonderland" and a lush rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." With its dynamic arrangements and pitch-perfect mix ...

JAMES TAYLOR AT CHRISTMAS (2006) is essentially a repackaging of the artist's 2004 JAMES TAYLOR: A CHRISTMAS ALBUM, which was made available in Hallmark stores. "Deck the Halls," featured on the Hallmark album, is not on AT CHRISTMAS, which instead features a version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "River," originally released on a Taylor studio album in 2002. These technicalities aside, AT CHRISTMAS is a mellow and sweet holiday offering from the venerable ...
| | Norah Jones Not Too Late CD (2007) Digipak
Wintersong album
$14.69
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 deliberately played with expectations, first becoming a low-key sideman in a quirky alt-country band called the Little Willies, then playing the lead role in a new movie by Hong Kong arthouse director Wong Kar-Wai.
Jones's third album, NOT TOO LATE, is perhaps not as extreme as any of those other moves away from her initial comfort zone, but it's a departure nonetheless. Recorded by Jones and longtime collaborator Lee Alexander in their home studio and featuring only self-penned material, NOT TOO LATE is far less polished than Jones's previous records, with many songs featuring little more than the singer's familiar croon, a Floyd Cramer-influenced piano, and Alexander's subtle bass. Not quite jazz, country, or pop, NOT TOO LATE fuses all of Jones's influences into an immediately identifiable whole. It's easily her most mature and personal album to date.
Personnel include: Norah Jones ...
| | Robert Plant Raising Sand CD (2007)
Wintersong CD music
$14.39
Those who find the pairing of '70s rock god Robert Plant with contemporary bluegrass queen Alison Krauss unlikely have probably not been paying attention to Plant's latter-day work, which is full of intimate, acoustic-flavored balladry. While the organic-sounding, low-key Plant/Krauss collaboration, RAISING SAND, is a far cry from Led Zeppelin's stadium rock, it offers up some hauntingly moody textures that should appeal to "Battle of Evermore" admirers.
Consisting mostly of sagely chosen cover tunes, the album finds Plant and Krauss bringing their warm-but-eerie harmonies to everything from Townes Van Zandt's nihilistic folk poetry ("Nothin'") to the crumbled beauty of latter-day Tom Waits ("Trampled Rose"). Determined not to rest on their laurels or cater to expectations, ...
