Kimmie Rhodes - Miracles on Christmas Day

By Simon, on December 15th, 2011

Originally released in 2010 Kimmie Rhodes seasonal album Miracles on Christmas Day gets a re-release this year so if it passed you by in the mayhem that surrounds the build-up to the festive season last time around then you’ll be wanting to get hold of a copy this year as it’s offers up a perfect musical back drop for for those quieter moments of reflection and relaxation that one hopes for over the festive period.

The back story to the album involves fellow Texan and living legend Willie Nelson – inspired whilst watching Nelson open multiple packages all containing platinum records of the great man’s Pretty Paper Kimmie promised to write a ‘holiday’ song every year as a gift to her friends worldwide – Miracles on Christmas Day gathers together these songs which were recorded at the Sunbird Recording Studios in Austin (where a little Christmas miracle occurred).

Vanessa Peters - The Christmas We Hoped For

By Simon, on December 13th, 2011

Vanessa Peters has had another busy year touring, planning, writing and recording but managed in the middle of year amidst outside temperatures of a 100+ to put together her first festive record The Christmas We Hoped For, the title track a Peter’s original takes pride of place on the recording that includes some takes on traditional tunes, ‘classics’ and the contemporary in the form of The Weepies All That I Want, so you get the best of all worlds wedded one recording, something old, something new, something borrowed and something country-blues.

If if like myself you have penchant for a festive tune or two then I’d highly recommend you get your hands on the album that offers a perfect accompaniment to the time-of-year, so kick back with glass of mulled wine and a mince pie (or Panettone and Bombardino if your prefer) and enjoy ride
