Kate & Anna McGarrigle

The McGarrigle Christmas Hour (Nonesuch)

While the McGarrigle sisters are almost supporting players on their own disc, their warm spirit permeates throughout. Guests include Emmylou Harris on a radiant "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and Kate's now-famous children, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, who bring originals as solid as anything they've ever done. Recommended to those who enjoy a heady mix of pop and faith.
