Cris Williamson"s eighth album Snow Angel, released in 1984, brings messages of peace, reflecting on as much the dark days of winter, as the bright, hopeful sun of a brand new year." There are many traditional selections, among them a medley that includes It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Three Kings of Orient, and Mel Tormé and Robert Wells" standard The Christmas Song . Included on this beautiful holiday album Carol Hall"s Hard Candy Christmas, from the Broadway musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and James Taylor"s Shower the People. Cris Williamson contributes personal memories in the spoken word Moonlight Ranch and in the song Wish-Book, which finds her receiving an I.O.U. from her parents in lieu of a present on Christmas Day. Snow Angel is a dynamic seasonal album, and a perfect addition to a Holiday collection
