Got a musical Christmas present from Kari; a copy of Over the Rhine's new Christmas album; Snow Angels. It's really great. Not at all your traditional Christmas music. They start out with melancholy version of "All I ever get for Christmas is Blue." I saw them do it live a year ago. They laughed because a friend of a friend heard them play their Christmas songs and asked, "Do they really like Christmas ?"
They tend to do sad (bluesey/jazzy) tunes. But very poigniant. And Karin (The female lead singer. Not Kari or Karlynn) has a fabulous voice.
(Not that Kari and Karlynn don't have fabulous voices).
I love the new disc.
