Cows and Holly: Sandra Boynton tries to explain her wild new Christmas album

Just in time for Christmas! Cartoonist, writer, and songwriter Sandra Boynton presents her most recent album/songbook, Cows and Holly, created alongside her long-time music collaborator, Michael Ford. The album’s songs—performed by Zooey Deschanel, Lyle Lovett, Yo-Yo Ma, Patti LuPone, Raúl Esparza, Linda Eder, and many others—are all new, yet have a Christmas Classics feel to them, ranging from 60s Surf Rock to A Cappella Motet to Celtic Jig to Rat Pack Crooner to Doo-wop to Broadway to Folk-Country and beyond.Boynton will talk with WAMC’s terrific Joe Donahue about the evolution of the project, and their conversation will be punctuated now and then by the screening of some of the music videos that Boynton & Ford have created for the album’s launch.
