Album DescriptionThe holidays in a glass -- swingy, cocktail party numbers combine with an end-of-the-night, watching-the-snow-fall nostalgia for the perfect musical mix for Thanksgiving to Spring. Mary Beth's second album spotlights her silky voice with a retro backing -- vintage mics and stylized trio arrangements create an incredible ambiance for the nine wintery tunes that comprise this 1997 album. Songs like "Snowed In" and "Times Like These" play with the winter conflicts of 'staying in versus playing outside' while "New Year's Eve Surprise" leads the listener through a hilarious evening in the mind of a young lady who believes her love is planning to propose (he isn't!). The more pensive notes of "Snowed In" come in the form of "Wait For Me," as a sister comes to terms with her younger sisters growing up too fast, "Since You've Gone," a searingly intimate song about a lonely late December night, and "Candlelight and Mistletoe," a soft rememberance of the familiar, consistent images of the holidays at home.
