Description

|
For the past 17 years, Darlene Love has kicked off the holidays on the Late Show by singing her 1960s, Phil Spector-produced hit, “Christmas Baby, Please Come Home” for David Letterman (it’s his favorite holiday song). For her first Christmas album (with repertoire drawn from her annually sold-out holiday concert in New York City), Love presents her take on 12 songs of the 1970s and 80s from a diverse array of artists such as the Pretenders, the Band, James Brown, Tom Petty, and John Lennon. Songs include “Christmas All Over Again,” “Christmas Wish,” “Who Took the Merry Out of Christmas?” “2000 Miles,” “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” and “Night of Peace.” “Love’s thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the history of Rock-and-Roll as Eric Clapton’s guitar or Bob Dylan’s lyrics.”—NY Times
