A MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DREAM is an expansion of a 1995 EP called A WINTER GARDEN, on which folksinger Loreena McKinnett tackled traditional Christmas carols. This 13 track version adds a few original holiday songs and more traditional material. Focusing on delightful but less overexposed tunes like "Coventry Carol" and "The Holly and the Ivy," A MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DREAM is a lovely antidote to uninspired cookie-cutter Christmas albums.
