Baby, It's Cold Outside

by Holly Cole

Overview

Canadian jazz vocalist Holly Cole is no stranger to Christmas albums. This 2001 offering is her third full-length holiday release, and, as on the previous albums, the gems here are plenteous. Few vocalists would attempt to cover the Vince Guaraldi classic "Christmastime is Here," but Cole's version honors the original by not being too showy or Broadway-ish. The other standout is "Never, No," previously done by fellow Canadian singer Mary Margaret O'Hara. Hole's understated approach is appropriate and charming.
