Synopsis

Album Description

Pop/jazz/rock cross-over star Michael Franks' first-ever holiday album sets the scene for mirth, merriment, and a cool yule all around. On tracks like "Said the Snowflake" and "I Bought You A Plastic Star (For Your Aluminum Tree)," the artist's trademark wit and lyrical worldplay are clearly in evidence. And throughout the disc's ten tracks, this master musician taps into his signature sense of timeless romance, wrapping his poetic songcraft in melodies as inviting as a blanket of freshly fallen powder. Delight your senses with the magic of the season, as observed by Michael Franks.

Simple Elegance

Anne D. Smith | 01/11/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD would be the perfect background for a fabulous winter dream! You can get lost in the music but don't miss the lyrics. They're funny, quirky and some of the best lyrics that I have ever read or heard. This CD is like having dinner and dishing with an old friend without the calories or the guilt!
