Rosie Thomas releases Christmas album
The leaves are still falling off the trees and they’re forecasting snow, so I know that Christmas is coming. I’m not one for Christmas albums; my wife calls me “Scrouge” because I typically dislike Christmas albums (they make me grumpy). Though it feels a little early to be listening to songs about Santa, Rosie Thomas has released A Very Rosie Christmas, and I think this Christmas album will be one that I’ll enjoy.
“Chock full of eggnog and grand spirits, Rosie, alongside her husband Jeff Shoop and longtime producer Josh Myers, called upon friends (Damien Jurado), family (Rosie’s brother Brian Thomas, affectionately known to his friends as BT) and alter egos (the simply hilarious Sheila Saputo) to capture all the warmth and exuberance of the holiday season for everyone to share.”
