Wendy Rose - Snowflake

Wendy Rose is an artist, singer, and songwriter living in Toronto, Canada. She has recorded three full length albums (including this Christmas album) available at a store "in the heart of the gay village".

During the past year, she has been doing a lot of home recording on her Mac and offers samples and pix of herself at her website.

As for the Christmas album, it definitely sounds like it was recorded at her home. The Casio synthesizer pounds out the drum beat and you can hear the overdubs of Wendy strumming her guitar. All the vocals, arrangements, mixing, and mastering on the album are done by her as well.

For all of this, I truly admire her - not many top stars in the music business can do that themselves.

But after listening to this album several times, I have to classify Wendy's singing in the same vein as Johnny "Bowtie" Barstow - the world's premier tone-deaf singer. Both Barstow's Christmas album and this one are a perfect complement to each other.

On to the next new Christmas CD in my collection... quickly!
