About a week ago, I unearthed this disc - still in its shrinkwrap - from the pile of CDs I inherited from my father. The price sticker ($16.99) is dated 10/31/05 so I'm unsure if my father bought it back then and just never listened to it; although I don't recall him ever listening to folk music. The other possibility is that the CD was gifted to him with the price sticker still attached. How gauche. In any case, in keeping with the spirit of listening to all the CDs in my collection, I'll unwrap it and give it a spin, even though I'm not much for folk music, either.
Well, I approached the album with an open mind and it just wasn't my thing, but rather than harp on what I don't like about it, I'm going to direct you to read about the album from someone who enjoys it over at the Music Of My Life blog.
Back in 2019, Rolling Stone ranked the album at #21 in its list of 40 Essential Christmas Albums.
