Tracey Thorn's Christmas album isn't a vanity project of classic covers but a collection to get you through the bleak midwinter. Tinsel and Lights is a metaphor for human hope in the face of that darkness and cold. Thorn selects her songs carefully, and self-pens two âJoyâ, âTinsel, and Lightsâ, to create an atmosphere over the whole album An atmosphere of yearning, longing, loneliness, but all set against the hope that makes us human. As she sings on âJoyâ: âWe must be alright if we can make up Christmas night. Thereâs a great version of Jack Whiteâs âIn the Cold, Cold Nightâ and Joni Mitchellâs âRiverâ. Album 2012 13 Songs. Tinsel and Lights. Alternative therefore, in its own downbeat, understated way, Tinsel and Lights does more for festive good cheer than any number of more traditional Christmas albums that go straight for the razzle-dazzle.
