One of the best
William A. Frey | North Carolina, USA | 10/05/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I admit a bias for liking seasonal music, and out of all the recordings I've collected or heard, this is one of the best. It is simple, gorgeous, and touching. There are more instrumentals than vocals, but even Amy White's voice is angelic. The clean musicianship serves the melodies and harmonies. The emphasis is on acoustic instruments played with heart. Every time I listen to this recording, I want to sit by the fireside with my dear ones and a cup of hot cider, watching the snow gently fall."

"In the Washington Metro area, we have enjoyed listening to Al Petteway and Amy White in concert and on CDs for years. They are very talented and their music is always enjoyable, inspiring, and interesting. Every music lover should have these artists in their private collection."
