Details Lead Performance: Jane Siberry

This double live album is by turns a lightweight lark and a heartfelt meditation on faith, filtered through Siberry's ingratiating cosmic-absurdist sensibility. Though Child's hour-and-three-quarters length may test one's whimsy threshold, her gracefully airy new compositions and droll between-song banter make this a playful alternative to standard seasonal fare.
