Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Joan Osborne captures the essence of the holidays on 'Christmas Means Love' with her versatile voice that easily goes from delicate and evocative to jazzy and glorious. Osborne sings her heart out on 11 holiday songs backed by a rootsy blues band and, at times, a choir. This intimate seasonal album is a perfect balance of the secular (Santa Claus Baby) and the sacred (Away in the Manger), both sassy (What Do Bad Girls Get?) and sombre (Angels We Have Heard On High).
