The title track, "Christmas Memories" is an original tune written by Mary for this CD. Seasonal music is difficult to make fresh, but she manages this superbly with dark colorings, ringing refrains, set off sweetly by Paul Mazzios fluegelhorn, Tim Ellis guitar.
On "Silent Night", Marys voice is set richly against Nancy Kings vocal tapestry, bringing new sounds to this very old favorite. These two friends vocal collaborations go way back, and the richness they bring to this piece makes it almost the centerpiece of this glorious album.
"White Christmas" is propelled by Dan Balmers chiming guitar work, twinkling brightly around each of Marys phrases. When George Mitchells B-3 organ takes a chorus, youd swear you were in the midst of a jazz improvisationand it all focuses sharply on the drive and beat, giving an old chestnut a very new polish.
