Tapestry instead but then again I doubt a gem like that would sell well today. Why do talented artists who were once outstanding and unique have to do that? No new ideas? What has become of rock and roll? Where's the innovation... or revolution? I've never bought a pop/rock singers holiday album and I never will. One or two Christmas songs - fine, but a whole album that's tied to a particular (short) season? I favor Mahalia Jackson on old crackling vinyl over any of these new Christmas pop CDs. As for the guy this site is dedicated to: I'm not planning to buy any of his upcoming albums but if he manages to create something that's cooler than the The Pogues'
Fairytale Of New York or Robert Earl Keen's
Merry Christmas From The Family, I'll maybe gladly be willing to disagree with evil nickname's statement regarding "musical irrelevance".
