Winter is finally coming to a close, which normally would excite me (the cold and I do not get along), but I gotta say that I think I may actually miss the winter a little and it is mainly because of songs like the following. Joni Mitchell's "River" is not just one of my favorite Christmas (or winter) songs ever, it is just one of my favorite songs ever. It is a breathtakingly beautiful song and covering it ain't easy. However, Fran Healy, a super under appreciated singer/songwriter originally in Travis, really hit the mark in his cover of the song for A.V. Club's Holiday Undercover. While many of you will just skip the video until Healy starts playing, I recommend watching the beginning, in which Healy discusses his relationship to the song and Joni. Fran Healy is just awesome. If you like this please check out Healy's most recent album and Travis.
