Album Description
Time to check in and check it out with the 2008 arrival of Hotel Cafe Presents ...Winter Songs, an all-female singer-songwriter holiday album which features a collection of the classics as well as brand new originals including a duet by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. Also includes tracks by Katy Perry, Colbie Caillat, Fiona Apple, KT Tunstall, and Brandi Carlile. In the year of the female singer-songwriter, the timing is prime for this release.

 Pleasent change to regular X-mas songs... January 20, 2009
Saw them on Late Night with Jay Leno. Their performance / sound was interesting enough for me to purchase my first music CD in several years.
 Nice change in Christmas music January 8, 2009
Something a little different that sounds great. Love it, would recommend it to anybody.

Honestly, I bought this album because Ingrid Michaelson sings "Winter Song" with Sara Bareilles. I was pleasantly suprised to find the Priscilla Ahn "Silent Night" - yes, it's that one they played at the beginning of ER. Some other very nice tracks are Meiko's "Maybe Next Year", and Colbie Caillat's "Mistletoe". I did NOT like KT Tunstall's "Sleigh Ride" - very jarring and kind of scary. I wansn't crazy about the oversung "Silver Bells" either. But I disagree with other reviewers about Katy Perry's "White Christmas". I found it quite sweet and a nice take on an old chestnut. I highly recommend this CD, but I'll admit it's very uneven.
Interesting interpretations of holiday favorites December 15, 2008

I bought this disc mostly for the first track, but after listening to the whole album, it's really grown on me and introduced me to some artists I hadn't been aware of.
I won't bore anyone with a track-by-track review. Suffice it to say that the entire album has a folksy Lillith Fair type of cadence to it, which is great when you're tired of being beaten to death with the usual holiday fare.
That said, I seriously doubt that this album will have the universal appeal (or staying power) as the Very Special Christmas albums. Nonetheless, it should be a welcome addition to anyone's holiday collection.
