Norah Jones I Dream Of Christmas (LP, White Vinyl)

(Blue Note Records) 13 tracks

This is what fans have been waiting for: On her first Christmas album, Norah Jones gives classics like Winter Wonderland and White Christmas the honor of being there, but as a 9-time Grammy Award winner, relies primarily on her own songwriting again. As a result, she manages to create a Christmas wonder that never drifts into typical clichés. Instead, it adds an original work to the canon of Holiday classics that a great many people will surely still be listening to with delight 20 years from now.
