Sarah McLachlanWintersong
Nevermind this is an X'mas album of mostly oldies and we've been waiting for 3 years to hear Sarah's new album. Nevermind the silly critiques.
If anything's worth buying the album for, it would be the original title track, Wintersong. You'd probably not ever hear a Xmas song so heart-wrenching that it makes you pine for the person you've loved the most and then lost. It made me cry.
Then there's the beautiful rendition of the Joni-Mitchell favorite River. It's beautifully touching and melancholy. Sarah made it hers.
As for the rest of the album, they are covers of standard Xmas fare with an added McLachlan touch including the euphoric John Lennon anthem Happy Christmas (War Is Over).

This album will tide fans over until when Sarah decides to charm us with another album of all-new stuff. (B)
