I've been trying for years to appreciate Nicole Atkins. I have friends who love her. Elvis Costello, Steve Nicks and Raul Malo love her. But, her records just don't do it for me. On paper, I should be a fan. But her tendency to "belt one out" over music that doesn't always need a voice that "belts one out" gets under my skin. On this new Christmas duet with French singer Gaspard Royant, on the other hand, she really hits the spot.

I've got a few of her albums - I feel the same way, kinda hit and miss, though some of the hits, I really enjoy.
I like her contributions to some Cotton Mather songs.

What a great little tune. Lifted my spirits. I'm ready for Christmas now.
