Looking for holiday music you've never heard before? "WEISS CHRISTMAS" (full disclosure: I'm the Weiss) is an unconventional seasonal song collection. Other public radio voices have piped in:

"['His Initials'] is one of the many great songs that can be found on one of the few Christmas albums that can be played happily at any time of the year. That album is "Weiss Christmas."
---Ed McKeon, WWUH-FM, W. Hartford CT

"You were a great hit...Many people commented on how much they liked you and your songs. And, I'm told, there were two anonymous complaint calls about [your G-O-D song] left on the local radio station's answering machine. You must be pleased."
--Sedge Thomson, KQED, West Coast Live

"... A great album for djs who want to offer other than the usual holiday fare."
--Carolyn VandeWiele, WFHB, Bloomington, IN

"...a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for making such a superior piece of work."
--Jim Graves, WFSS, Fayetteville, NC

An astute review snippet:
"...Also worthy is Ilene Weiss' "Weiss Christmas". Hers is the slightly cynical take of a Jewish woman who has scratched the surface of holiday wholesomeness. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" gets transformed into an urban rap and is a nice companion to "Talkin To The Wrong Guy", which recounts a young girl's suspicion that the big guy's a fake. Much of the rest takes an even more critical look at gaps between faux cheer and social reality. A gutsy album on Weiss' part (**** 4 Stars)."
--Rob Weir, Northampton Valley Advocate

And look at the folkie dude who digs it:

"...I like EVERY piece on the album..."
---Noel Paul Stookey, Peter Paul and Mary
