Candi Staton

Christmas in My Heart (WEA/Lightyear)

This reissued collection rehashes the usual holiday suspects with a few refreshing originals. It’s a reminder that Candi Staton has a helluva voice, but you know the drill: Save your money and donate the cost of the CD to a homeless shelter, children’s advocacy group, Habitat for Humanity, or any truly needy place.
