Given the major storm system moving from west to east on the Mainland, Judy Collins (with Tyne Daly!) singing about the bleak midwinter seems appropriate. This is from her 2007 “All On A Wintry Night” album. It’s pretty spare; the only instruments are piano and possibly harpsichord, but with Collins’ beautiful voice why throw a bunch of lush string arrangements into the mix?
