Album Notes

Featured on NPR, this exploration of the Christmas Carol is a unique and personal selection of (mostly) traditional carols from Europe & America. The carols are arranged to tell the Christmas story in a narrative order and presented chronologically to provide an interesting historic review.

With her gossamer vocals and first-rate guitar arrangements, McDermott has the uncanny ability of interpreting the carols in such a way that makes it sounds as if she wrote them. You should expect nothing less of Suzanne McDermott - This Christmas CD is gorgeous.

The cover of Out Under the Sky features one of Suzanne's exceptional watercolor paintings. For information on prints of this painting and other paintings by Suzanne, please go to her website

REVIEWS

beautiful voice!
author: Anne Deardorff
I first heard cuts from this cd a couple of years ago on the Tuesday night folk show on 90.9fm and had been looking for it ever since. Her voice on "I Wonder As I Wander" will transport you. Great music, anytime.

beautiful
author: Gert van den Hof
Since I heard Souvenirs, I became a fan of Suzanne and this album underlines my admiration for her. This album is a welcome album for my Christmas collection and I know for sure that this album will be played very often and not only at the end of the year, but for some singers it is always Christmas to me. Thank you, Suzanne.

Pure Joy!

The joys of the Christmas season are even MORE joyous now that I've added "Out Under the Sky" to my collection! The great old Christmas hymns and songs have never sounded more alive and full of emotion as they do here! Suzanne can interpret a lyric like no one else!

refreshingly perfect for the holiday season
author: CD French
The hauntingly beautiful old songs are performed note-clear and the guitar accompaniment is enchanting. It's great to play as "background" music or just to listen and enjoy. Definitely a great addition or beginning to a holiday music collection, and one which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
