One More Drifter in the Snow is a Christmas album by the American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, released by SuperEgo Records in the United States on October 31, 2006.
[citation needed] It comprises covers of Christmas standards and two original compositions: "Christmastime", written by Mann's husband, Michael Penn, and "Calling on Mary".
[3] Mann cited the influence of Johnny Mathis' album Merry Christmas (1958), deciding to "go the Mel Tormé, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, lounge-y, sort of Julie London record" rather than make an album in the style of "the groovy modern Christmas records".
[2] Another inspiration was the Vince Guaraldi Trio's soundtrack for the 1965 film A Charlie Brown Christmas.
First, Charlie Brown is depressed by the commercialism of Christmas and then there's Linus, who steps out to tell the story of the nativity, with this heartbreakingly moral stance.
