Gingerbread and hot wine on the table and "Magnolias & Mistletoe" on the ears and it's Christmas. After the great cover album "SOS 2", his brilliant appearance on ARD MoMa on 18.10.18 and the current studio album, Marc Broussard's fans can be happy that his first Christmas album, released on his own label, will finally be released by us. 10 songs from the Anglo-American Christmas tradition. Songs like "Auld lang Syne", which are known to us in a different context as "Nehm Abschied, Br?der" from the Boy Scout movement, can be found here as well as "O come, o come Emmanuel" by John Mason Neale from the year 1851. Marc Broussard's haunting voice is common to all songs, often only underlined with simple piano accompaniment or in a very reduced acoustic line-up. If the choir accompanies the Broussard family, then this becomes a very family and personal affair. You are with the Broussards in Carencro, LA when they make themselves comfortable under the Christmas tree, live and true. But on "Almost Christmas" he flashes through again, soul and R&B singer Marc Broussard. Sure: The song, as well as "When Christmas comes along" was written by him. Otherwise it's more the traditional Christmas songs from the US Songbook, which are not so well known in our country, that are represented here and create a very special Christmas mood.
