Listen Up
Carol Call The holidays always bring a crop of album’s celebrating the season, and this year’s was a bounty. We took a listen to Merry Christmas II You, Mariah Carey’s follow-up to her first blockbuster Christmas album; Holly Happy Days, the Indigo Girls country-inflected salute to all aspects of the season; A Christmas Cornucopia, Annie Lennox’s blend of traditional holiday music with her distinct international flavor; and Christmas with the Puppini Sisters, who bring their fabulous 1940s flair to carols old and new.
