Holiday Music Extravaganza: Part II
December 20th, 2007

We're continuing our holiday spree for one more day, 'cause we just got three fresh releases from Nettwerk Records -- featuring tons of Christmas tracks from bands like The Polyphonic Spree, Pedro the Lion, Death Cab for Cutie, Guster, Jack Johnson, Lisa Loeb, Dido, Barenaked Ladies, and Sixpence None The Richer!
A Winter's Night is a condensed and fortified recap of Nettwerk's decidedly non-lame Maybe This Christmas series. And the best thing is, they really did pick the best songs from the series, especially if you're addicted to female pop singers... There isn't a sour note on this entire compilation of compilations.

It's a very pleasant, very adult alternative station-ready collection with a few absolute standouts like Leigh Nash and Gabe Dixon's clear-voiced rendition of "Baby It's Cold Outside", the Clumsy Lovers bluegrass-inspired take on "Welcome Christmas" and Sarah McLachlan's shiny, soaring "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." [Review from Amazon.com]
With Christmas songs from The Polyphonic Spree, The Raveonettes, Death Cab for Cutie, Pedro the Lion, Royal Crown Revue, and Lisa Loeb, among others, here is a good way to celebrate Christmas. [In Music We Trust]
