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.

Entertainment Weekly (p.85) - "WINTERSONG fully indulges McLachlan's melancholia....Gorgeously heartsick..." -- Grade: B+

5 stars 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!

5 stars 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.

5 stars Simply Beautiful......
With all the the Christmas music out there to purchase today, I am always very cautious when selecting a new title to add to my Holiday collection. I enjoy Sarah's music very much so I purchased this CD knowing full well that 9 times out of 10 Christmas CD's are usually just fillers. Her arrangements on these songs and beautiful voice make this Holiday CD a MUST for any McLachlan fan. From the start (Happy Xmas/War is over) to the end of this CD (Christmastime is here), Sarah brings each song new meaning and beauty making this CD a "JOY" to add to anyone's Holiday collection!

5 stars Wintersong: An appreciation
I am a music lover and a semi-retired Lutheran pastor. My wife and I are helping our daughter nurture her two toddlers as her soldier husband is away preparing for military service in Iraq. The music I listen to inspires my prayer and challenges my trust in God during times of personal and family stress and national uncertainty. Sarah McLachlan released Wintersong in 2006 but I only discovered it in October 2008 while searching for a contemporary Christmas album which would enhance my appreciation of the holy season as much as Joan Baez’ Noël and Kathy Mattea’s Good News continue to do after many years. I chanced upon Wintersong in a CD store where I was buying Joan’s superb Day After Tomorrow, which I have also reviewed with excitement. If you desire inspiring and spiritually challenging music, you will appreciate both of these 21st-century treasures. Sarah proclaims the universal message of traditional Christmas carols by transfiguring them into a variety of the world’s musical styles: Spirituals, Celtic meditations (very appropriate for someone named McLachlan), Hildegard von Bingen-like medieval chants, Native American dance rhythms, jazz, country and 1960s American folk songs. Sarah’s carols depart from the familiar versions just enough to make me contemplate the actual meaning of the words in way that I never seem to do when I sing them or hear them sung in the usual way. Although I have never been a lover of “secular” Christmas standards, Sarah’s way of singing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” reminds me that there is a deep, sometimes sad but sometimes peaceful yearning in the hearts of those who wish they could be with their loved ones at this time of year. As with the carols, I find myself actually hearing the words of these songs for the first time as Sarah sings them. I took the liberty of e-mailing President-Elect Obama and his family to tell them that my Christmas greeting for them is the text of John Lennon’s and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Christmas (Was Is Over)” as Sarah sings it at the beginning of Wintersong. The song expresses my prayer for what our new leader may accomplish during his time of service. I am intrigued by the songs which are completely new or new to me. Joni Mitchell’s “River” expresses the guilt which many of us experience when we have hurt a loved one. That kind of guilt hits me harder at Christmas time than at any other time and I know others who feel the same. Gordon Lightfoot’s “Song For A Winter’s Night” is pure loneliness, but the words leave me wondering whether the beloved is away in the military as my daughter’s husband will be or is estranged from the singer or maybe even is dead. So many levels to be lonely on. Sarah’s own “Wintersong” appears at first to be sung to a loved one in heaven: “Love and happiness surround you as you throw your arms up to the sky.” And the singer looks up and sees the loved one’s star. But then I realize that the singer is only looking up at a star on the Christmas tree, not at a star in the sky. And I wonder where the beloved is, in heaven or still on this earth. Wherever he may be, the separation is more painful at Christmas than at other seasons. There is a melancholy feeling about the album, but Sarah transfigures it into a genuine Christmas spirit. It seems that the birth of the Savior gives the singer enough Christmas joy and spiritual strength to overcome her feelings of guilt and separation and loneliness and to share in the peace which the season is intended to give. Many of us celebrate Christmas, at least in some years, in the midst of troubled lives and troubled loves in a troubled world. But we can celebrate anyway, even if in a restrained and sometimes bittersweet manner. We celebrate because HE makes a difference in our world and gives meaning to our lives. Sarah approaches the songs in a celebrating yet restrained and sometimes bittersweet way. The final song, Vince Guaraldi’s and Lee Mendelson’s “Christmas Time Is Here,” says it well. It begins, “Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer,” and ends, “Oh that we could always see such spirit through the year.” Yes, Sarah, we can see it, thanks to you.

For a band that remained relatively consistent (with a few minor exceptions) in their approach to rock & roll since 1968, Jethro Tull also possessed a sound that was uniquely '70s-oriented during their most successful period between 1971-1978.

One must give the Moody Blues credit for tenacity and a single-pointed focus. For 37 years they've put forth a startlingly consistent series of themes: optimism, a kind of blind-faith spirituality that the universe is in good hands and that people are by and large decent and kind, and love songs that can be a bit twee, but nonetheless connect when one is in the emotional space to hear them. Their music has always been intimate and pretentious in the ...

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 ...
