Annie Lennox announces Christmas disc

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Thanks to Martin Johns for this tip as well as the link to the full press release for this November release. The former Eurythmic and elusive solo star is taking on an array of holiday standards as well as one original, "Universal Child." My Spidey sense predicts this will be a fairly sedate pop outing, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong. By the way, Martin has a fairly obsessive compilation of 2010 Xmas releases across all genres posted over at FaLaLaLaLa.com. I know I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Shelby Lynne joins Christmas parade

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Once again, thanks to Direct Current for the tip, although I first saw mention of a possible Xmas disc from her in Parade magazine, of all places. The disc features two originals and, based on DC's posting, appears to be eclectic enough to satisfy this site's general non-interest in country music. UPDATE: Courtesy of Hip Christmas, Shelby sent out a humorous promo-only holiday song in 2003 called "Squat"; as near as I can tell, it won't be on the new album, though it probably ought to be. Decide for yourself, the song's right at the link.

On an unrelated note, we've got at least half the old site's album reviews transferred over to the new site, with hopes of finishing the job before the upcoming holiday season arrives. This means you'll be able to use the new site's superior search engine to look for things, rather than the old site's rather diffident search provider.
