Hit: 5 Stars
The McGarrigle sisters are so listenable but difficult to find recordings for. This one is a perfect companion piece to the holidays with an assortment of artists contributing. Garrison Keillor would be proud.
The McGarrigle Christmas Hour Poster
Kate and Anna McGarrgile have a storied recording career that spans a slate of five-star albums that includes original music and songs from the French Canadian world, American ragtime and other "old world" genres. They would appear to be quaint to most ears if they weren't so damn good at blending the past and their modern sensibilities in memorable verse and song. Enter their Christmas record into that same framework, as the sisters and a few friends (Emmylou Harris) and family members (Rufus and Martha Wainwright are the children of Kate)mix up the old and new. The French song "Il Est Ne" is rounded out with a shimmering round of vocal backing harmonies while Rufus' "Spotlight on Christmas" (penned a couple years ago) and his wonderfully fey reading of "What Are Your Doing Christmas Eve?" prove to be just three highlights of another five-star effort. Although it will be an acquired taste to some, the McGarrigle Christmas Hour is like spending quality time in Kate and Anna's parlor. There the piano, fiddles, other instruments and friendly voices are ready to satisfy with old world charm that could never be mistaken for old school insignificance. --Martin KellerFor acclaimed singer-songwriters Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Christmas is about home and hearth and so too is Christmas music. Taking their cue from The McGarrigle Hour, their award-winning 1998 album of folk favorites, the sisters and their extended musical family renew the warm and intimate spirit of the holiday season with The McGarrigle Christmas Hour, an eclectic and glorious album of fresh originals, timelss classics, and contemporary favorites.
