Advent reviews times 9

'To Drive the Cold Winter Away' by Loreena McKennitt

Emma: **.5
Charlie: **

Emma: So THIS is what we meant to listen to/review yesterday. Anyway. It's good! Really sparse Celtic-Classical vocals and harp beautiful performed and produced but... not especially Christmasy. Also the cover scares me a little bit.

Charlie: This is really beautiful, and (as you might expect) impeccably-produced. It's more what I'd want to use as music for a dramatic montage in the third season of Outlander, though, and less what I'd want to put on a Christmas playlist. As music? ***.5 As Christmas music? **.

Put it in the Christmas bag?: No. But I'll put it in my general winter bag.
