"Christmas Train," Sofia Talvik (self-issued)

You could go blind searching out on Mistletunes the numerous references to Sofia's Christmas repertoire, which is almost as big as her regular 364-day repertoire. Over time, she's evolved from an artist whose work was similar to such diva songwriter-performers as Kate Bush and Tori Amos to a more Americana-sounding ethos. This new song for 2019 is a rockabilly-country sounding thing melding the holiday to the many epic railroad songs of the past. There are any number of country artists you could imagine performing this. Although I'm not big on country, I'm carving out an exception for this one.
