Not that the arguably biggest musical artist of our time needs any help from this humble website, but this new-for-2019 holiday tune is great radio fare with a reasonably substantial love-song-for-the-holiday lyric set in the seldom-invoked cultural institution that is the Christmas tree farm. And musically, plenty of hooks and big-show production that takes us back to the 60s, or at least those of us who remember that far back, anyway. Speaking of remembering, she had an EP of holiday tunes in 2007 that I blew off at the time because she was a country artist then, but her "Last Christmas" is more pop, and she had two originals, "Christmas Must Be Something More" and "Christmases When You Were Mine."
