![]() Grant-Lee Phillips (from the E.P. Yuletide available on Yep Roc Records) The hush of a falling snow, the warm glow casting light from a welcome home window, the complete joy of a child’s speechless face receiving gifts. That is the sound of the Grant-Lee Phillips E.P., Yuletide. The four cuts differ sonically as a winter theme wraps arms around the tunes. Grant-Lee Phillips begins the seasonal song cycle with a Folk shuffle, bright chords, twinkling piano notes, and a strong wind rhythm plug in the magic of the season with “Winter Glow”, the only original track on Yuletide. “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” was included on Frank Sinatra’s first album release on his own record label, Reprise, and finds its way onto Yuletide with sparkling guitar notes and a mulled cider-thick bass line. A dreamy melody accompanies Grant-Lee Phillips version of Nat King Cole’s “Take Me Back to Toyland” as he exits Yuletide, and 2020, with “Auld Lang Syne”.
