Charlotte Church – Dream A Dream (2000) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Charlotte Church - Dream A Dream (2000) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The little girl with the big voice is back for a selection of popular Christmas songs and carols, ranging from the medieval “Coventry Carol” to the brand new title track, whose chorus will be recognized by classical music fans as the “Pavan” of Gabriel Faure. In between are pop standards like “Winter Wonderland” and Mel Torme’s “Christmas Song” as well as some less familiar fare such as the delicate calypso “Mary’s Boy Child” and the Welsh “Draw Tua Bethlehem”.

For their set of Christmas related material, the Manhattan Transfer welcome such guests as trumpeter Jack Sheldon (on “Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Paul McCartney faced the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 like he faced so many other unexpected challenges in his life: he set out to make music on his own. The title of McCartney III positions it as a direct sequel to 1970’s McCartney and 1980’s McCartney II, albums he made in the wake of the respective dissolutions of the Beatles and Wings, a sentiment that rings true in some ways but not in others.

Rosemary Clooney – White Christmas (1996) [2003, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Rosemary Clooney - White Christmas (1996) [2003, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Although Rosemary Clooney had a major part in the famous film White Christmas back in 1954, this was her first full Christmas album and it was a big seller when it was released late in 1996. From the jazz standpoint, there is not much here, as Clooney is accompanied by a huge orchestra conducted and mostly arranged by Peter Matz.

Barry Manilow - A Christmas Gift Of Love (2002) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Barry Manilow’s second seasonal collection, following 1990’s Because It’s Christmas, was released on Columbia Records, but that label berth appears to be a one-off for the singer, who followed his long tenure at Arista by signing to the jazz independent Concord for his last album, 2001’s Here at the Mayflower.

riginally titled Metrobolist, the album’s name was changed at the last minute to The Man Who Sold The World, the original stereo master tapes were in fact labelled Metrobolist, with the title ultimately crossed out. The 2020 re-release of the album under its Metrobolist moniker has been remixed by original producer Tony Visconti, with the exception of the track ‘After All’ which Tony considered perfect as is, and is featured in its 2015 remaster incarnation.

Tom Petty – Wildflowers & All The Rest (2020)

Tom Petty - Wildflowers & All The Rest (2020)

Promised for years prior to Tom Petty’s untimely death in 2017, Wildflowers & All the Rest expands the rocker’s beloved 1994 album Wildflowers into a comprehensive box, one filled with outtakes, demos, home recordings, and live performances. Petty originally delivered Wildflowers as a double-CD set to Warner Bros., but the label convinced him that it’d be easier to market a single disc, albeit one that ran the length of a double LP.
