Fireside by John Mark Nelson, Tancred, Jenny Owen Youngs
I hope you enjoy these brand new Holiday tunes that I had the honor of creating with my good friends Jenny Owen Youngs and Jess Abbott (Tancred). Here's a word from Jenny about the tunes:
"Jess, John Mark, and I came together to make two holiday recordings inspired largely by an arrangement of "Silver Bells" Jess had come up with last Christmas. She flipped the chords in the final chorus to make the refrain wrap around itself, leaning minor, in a way that made the song somber without feeling sad.
We decided to accompany this take on Silver Bells with an original holiday song in similar emotional territory: joyful, but contemplative; secular, but reverent. What we found while writing Fireside together was a crisp homage to indoor rumination in December, and keeping warm with loved ones when daylight is brief and winter nights are long."
