The Molly Burch Christmas Album

By A Mystery Man Writer

Last updated 16 Jun 2024

On this collection of holiday songs, Austin chanteuse Molly Burch does Christmas with a twist. Quite an omnibus, the album features classics like I'll Be Home for Christmas and Auld Lang Syne alongside heartland hits like Hard Candy Christmas and Snowqueen of Texas. This is the most fun I've had making a record yet, Burch says. And you can hear that joy on tracks like ABBA's Happy New Year as well as a playful cover of Wham's Last Christmas with two special guests: actor / comedians John Early (Search Party, Wet Hot American Summer) and Kate Berlant (Sorry to Bother You, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) add a blithe intro and backing vocals throughout. Recorded by Will Patterson (Sleep Good, RF Shannon, Jesse Woods) and Jarvis Taveniere (Woods, Martin Courtney, Purple Mountains), the album also features two beautiful originals penned by Burch to add to your holiday canon. I hope it's a Christmas album for people who love Christmas music and people who don't love Christmas music. May these songs welcome in a fresh new year and many warm, happy nights.
