Music reviews of Just in Time for Christmas
Music Review: Sing a Torch, Jeannette Isabella
Rating: 5 Stars
Say what you want about Kathie Lee Gifford, she at least had the good taste and savvy to champion singer Nancy LaMott (during the latter's lifetime) and did her part to promote this great but somewhat obscure cabaret singer to a national audience. Of course, Nancy LaMott is still not the household name she should be if this were a just world. Posthumous stardom is not an impossibility, as the success of Eva Cassidy's records have proven. Nancy LaMott was certainly as big a talent--and as compelling a story as Ms Cassidy, but her recorded legacy has been (apparently) been tied up in various legal wranglings, which is more than unfortunate. It's almost criminal that her records are not more readily available. She was among the greats, and if megastardom was not something to be realized in her all too short life, at least let her be discovered now.
But, hey, it's the holiday season, and I'm in a generous mood, so let me just do my bit to promote Nancy LaMott's music--and in her Christmas album in particular. For some reason, I found myself going on a holiday music bender this year. Perusing the old collection, it became ridiculously clear how many holiday albums I owned, and how few I had actually listened to. Nancy's was one I had played quite a bit back when it was new, and then it joined the ranks of the other Christmas recordings stashed away "until next year."
So I made a point to rediscover these yuletide treasures once more this season. And many of them really were quite good. Of course, one hears the many of the same tunes over and over and over again. I'm sure that I could get into numerous debates over which singer "owns" this song or does "the definitive" take on that one. Such arguments are pointless, and not exactly in keeping with the holiday spirit anyway, but I will say this: when Nancy LaMott takes on one of those old holiday chestnuts (whether or not it's roasting on an open fire) you will, at least for the moment, put all other fondly remembered versions out of your mind. She makes all those old songs new again--no mean feat when you're talking "The Christmas Song" or "I'll Be Home For Christmas." And the new stuff is pretty wonderful too. A little cabaret irony on the title track and "All Those Christmas Cliches," a little unabashed mush on numbers like "Earth and Sky" and "Some Children See Him." It all works, in part because of who Nancy LaMott was--a great interpretive singer who could interpret just about anything.
