An Irish Christmas is a music album by Irish musician Maire Brennan, now known as Moya Brennan. ‘An Irish Christmas’ charts a different course, reviewing the Christmas story through a blend of new tracks and left field favourites. From ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ to ‘In The Bleak Midwinter’, Moya reworks the classics with an intimacy that restores the personal and the passionate to what have become mumbled, half-remembered musical yarns. The listener is placed in the front row of the ultimate nativity opera. According to Moya, the idea for the album first came to her some time ago: "I’ve been involved in number of other people’s Christmas projects in recent years," explains Moya, "but I wanted to capture a truly Celtic Christmas feeling." "It’s always important to bring the meaning of Christmas to the fore. It is the essence of what I believe in and the album offers both celebration and reflection on that familiar theme."

** Highly Recommended Album **

"Spirit" by Jewel is an album i can't praise enough, No matter if it was posted as Artist of the month or any other time it would be a special occasion for me to share this amazing album!. There is nothing in the world that sounds like this album. If people are aware of Jewel's Alaskan wilderness upbringing it really shows in the album Spirit. With intrumentation to send chills down your spine and a haunting and beautiful voice makes it one of the best "Alternate Pop" albums ever recorded.

Songs like "Enter from the East", "Whats Simple Is True", "Kiss The Flame" both musically and lyrically send you on a soothing trip into the Alaskan wilderness, If you have ever seen the music video for "Whats Simple is true" this is reflected in its visual beauty. The final track This Little Bird is a song that Jewel's mother used to sing to her as a child. They sing this song together in a beautiful melody.

This album really is a masterpiece, an album i have had treasured in my collection since its original release. I would often relax with the lights out to this album and drift away to a beautiful wilderness. Everyone must hear this ~ Anthony

Erin Rocha - Paper Wings

Erin Rocha is a British singer from Poole, a port on the south coast of the UK. As a fifteen year old shoolgirl, Erin booked some time in a recording studio to record three vocal tracks as a present for her grandfather, coincidentally her school sent her back to the same studio a year later for work experience. Whilst Erin was at the recording studio, they were working on a track which was to be sent to Norah Jones, when the session singer failed to turn up, remembering her cutting the tracks for her grandfather, Erin was asked to fill in and record the song 'Can’t Do Right For Doing Wrong’. Singer Eddie Grant, who was also using the studio happened to hear the song and took it to the studio boss, this resulted in Erin keeping the song, and recording her own album! 'Paper Wings' released in August 2004 when Erin was around 16/17, is sadly her only album, and she didn't get to become that well known, her style is relaxed and layed back, and very hard to define, this is definitely a little gem which should be snapped up...it comes HIGHLY recommended.

The album features many cover versions of famous songs, such as Katie Mellua's 'The Closest Thing To Crazy', 'Time To Say Goodbye', made famous by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, 'Up Where We Belong' from the movie An Officer And A Gentleman, starring Richard Gere, and sung by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes,
and for me personally, the highlight of the album, Snow Patrol's
'Chasing Cars', in which Blake's passionate and atmospheric interpretation, certainly gives the original a run for it's money.
