Pink Martini has a new one that I intend to pick up today.

I also heard a great Christmas album on the radio by the late Nancy LaMott, that I intend to track down.

Well found. This sounds like a fine recording. A s/h vinyl copy is winging its way from the USA.

Yes. Classy. My wife really likes this one. I can listen to it a little bit. She does a nice Joni cover.

What about this year, are there any new recommendations? Or are the old favourites still the ones to buy/listen to?

Just like the studio albums. Fresh and sharp in the early years, experimental in the middle and fragmented / solo efforts in the latter years.
