“Winter Songs”, Boyzone alum Ronan Keating’s second album this year, “conjure[s] up some of my favorite Christmas memories”. Traditional yuletide classics such as “Silent Night” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” sit alongside modern favorites like Joni Mitchell’s “River”. Other tracks include songs originally performed by legendary artists like Simon & Garfunkel (”Homeward Bound”) and Bob Dylan (”Ring Them Bells”), in addition to first single “Stay”, an ‘07 hit for US country duo Sugarland.
