'Wilde Winter Songbook'

I used to fancy Kim Wilde like mad when I was at school! I liked most of her records as well until the late 80's and then I kind of just stopped listening to her... Well, I am glad to say that Kim IS still making records and has a new festive collection of songs out on Nov 4th entitled 'Wilde Winter Songbook'. I love the cover and listening to the snippets on Amazon.com it sounds like there are some nice Christmas gems amongst the tracks. I'm not convinced so far by the more 'obvious' material like the duet with Rick Astley ('Winter Wonderland') but new songs like 'Hope' and 'New Life' sound great and I also like the jaunty kind of 1950's american Christmas sounding 'Hey Mr Snowman'. All in all its good to catch up again with Kim and I still wouldn't mind if she turned up in my Christmas stocking!
