Acoustic sounds for the holidays





Thanks to all you dedicated book enthusiasts who made the trek through yesterday’s ice and freezing rain to our cozy store, we were delighted to see you all!
We have a fantastic selection of holiday music from your favorite artists. Some of my favorite seasonal albums have a very organic, acoustic sound, distinct from the jingles commonly heard in shopping centers at this time of year. My particular favorite is “American Noel”, a blend of artful folk originals and traditional carols lovingly performed by the late, great Dave Carter and the inimitable Tracy Grammer. With a slightly more produced sound, “Simple Gifts: A Small Town Christmas” featuring Billy McLaughlin, offers a warm and intimate approach to familiar Christmas songs. And in “A Midwinter Night’s Dream”, Loreena McKennett brings elaborately beautiful Celtic-inspired instrumentation and her distinctively clear voice to old time carols like “The Holly and Ivy”. Visit our listening station and find the perfect soundtrack to your special holiday traditions!
