Great songs, great band playing at their best, great singer…

There are all sorts of Christmas albums. I’ve never heard one more appropriate to listen to on Christmas eve when all of the presents are wrapped and under the tree, fire in the fireplace (real or imagined) blazing, snow on the ground, Santa in the sky. A Christmas sigh of relief, courtesy of a true artist.
