Wintersong is a collection of Christmas songs from Amanda McBroom, writer of Bette Midler's hit The Rose. Standards and originals make this a new holiday classic.
The New York Times called Amanda, "... the greatest cabaret singer/songwriter of our generation, who writes like an angel and has a voice to match."
This collection was Inspired by a brand new Christmas carol, "Mary Said No," written by Amanda and her long-time collaborator, Michele Brourman.
Other new and/or rare holiday songs include the beautiful "First Snow of the Year" by Rosie Casey and Ken Hirsch, "Maybe This Christmas" by Ron Sexton, and a brand new New Year's Eve standard, "A Happy New Year," by Amanda and jazz great Ann Hampton Callaway.
Produced by Fred Mollin, producer of such musical legends as Johnny Mathis, Jimmy Webb, and Vince Gill, this CD was recorded in Nashville at the world famous Sound Emporium studios. A glorious five piece rhythm section of true musical masters, plus a horn section and a string orchestra, make this a feast for the ears and the heart.
Beloved standards such as "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Dan Fogelberg's heartfelt "Another Auld Lang Syne," and Amanda's own originals make this CD a new holiday classic.
