This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage revisits our 2021 Holiday Special. The episode features seasonal songs, old and new, all recorded live over the years on the Mountain Stage.
Our Song of the Week is “Maybe This Christmas” by Holly Cole.
Canadian jazz singer Holly Cole is no stranger to holiday music, with two albums of seasonal music, Baby It’s Cold Outside (2001) and Christmas Blues (1989). Since 1992, Cole has made five appearances on Mountain Stage.
Tune in to hear Cole’s sultry spin on this Christmas tune, plus hear performances from Joan Baez, Bruce Cockburn, Odetta, Loudon Wainwright III, Holly Cole, The Roches, Kathy Mattea, Michael Martin Murphy and more.
