Aimee Mann - One More Drifter In The Snow

 

Aimee Mann's first Christmas album

"On all tracks, the focus is on the tasteful strings — credit Patrick Warren for the chamberlin, celeste, and pump organ — and Mann's delicate delivery. Overall, the artist is more interested in providing comfort than radical reinvention, although a dreamier-than-usual 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' enjoys a slight edge over the other selections. Grant Lee Phillips, taking over from Boris Karloff, provides the theatrical narration on 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.'" —  Kathleen C. Fennessy

Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Aimee Mann's first Christmas album is a collection of holiday classics and two original, beautiful, and bittersweet songs written by Mann and Michael Penn. Reminiscent of classic albums of the '40s and '50s, but without any retro kitsch. Like Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis and Peggy Lee, Aimee Mann captures the emotional beauty of Christmas.
