Synopsis

Album Description

Finally?a Christmas CD from "Prairie Home Companion" favorites Robin & Linda Williams! After 30 years of performing their trademark traditional and roots-inspired originals, Robin & Linda have created their first Christmas CD and it's exactly the warm and wonderful country-folk recording you would expect from these popular "A Prairie Home Companion" veterans. The CD includes great new Christmas songs of their own composition (many of which made their first appearance on the weekly national broadcast), as well as songs by John Prine, Roger Miller and Steve Earle. The supporting players are excellent as well and include such stand-out musicians as Sam Bush, Jimmy Gaudreau and King Wilkie's Nick Reeb. "The First Christmas Gift" is a CD destined to become a favorite and one that will take up residence in many a CD player annually during the holidays.

CD Reviews

The perfect album title. . .

Guitar Geezer | Ioway | 11/08/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In this delightful work, Robin and Linda have delivered an early and indispensible yuletide gift. This is not the familar mix of old chestnuts, but rather a thoughtful and heartfelt collection of songs old, new and in-between, presented with impeccable taste and musicianship by the Williamses and a superb cast of cohorts. One of their familar favorites, "Together All Alone," joins several new seasonal originals( "Shotgun Shells on a Christmas Tree," "On a Quiet Christmas Morn," and the title track) which will speak to a wide audience in quiet, joyful ways. Tunes by other great contemporary songsmiths John Prine, Steve Earle and Roger Miller get loving treatment as well. They have also included two of my favorite traditional works, "Mary Had A Baby," and "Brightest and Best," (sometimes known as "Star of the East,") to put the perfect "seasoning" in the mix. This is like a Christmas card from distant and very special friends and with it Robin & Linda bless us--every one!"

"I've been waiting for this for years. In fact, I went on an MPR Prairie Home forum and suggested it a couple of years ago. Robin and Linda's wonderful musicianship, and that of their supporting cast, has produced an album that will be treasured by anyone who buys it."
