Songwriter, singer, and actress Amanda McBroom has been called “…the greatest cabaret performer of her generation… an urban poet who writes like an angel and has a voice to match.” She was catapulted into the public eye when Bette Midler's Grammy-winning recording of McBrooom's song “The Rose” became a worldwide hit in 1979. 

The new album includes several holiday standards and music by McBroom and others.
