I’m not sure what my favorite is / was. Kate Rusby’s Xmas album is ok, but not as spine tinglingly wonderful as other of her studio albums. I would rather listen to her than the Dylan Xmas album, which is truelly unlistenable by anyone’s standards, I think.
Maria McKee continues to amaze with the quality of her singing and songwriting.
