Have Yourself a Very KT Christmas, KT Tunstall (EMI/NBC Universal)

This 2007 EP will probably be more easily recognized as The KT Tunstall Holiday Collection, as that's what it says on the piece of cardboard Target glued over the front, but the title I used is on the real cover and comes up when I play the disc in iTunes. This was part of an NBC/Target "Sounds of the Season" promotion, so it was only available at the store in question at the time. It's still not easily available, but there is an Amazon page for it. The "Suddenly I See" belter doesn't get real creative with song selection, picking four contemporary tunes and two classics, and her versions of "2000 Miles" and "Fairytale of New York" are basically cover-band workouts. But she gets points for a sprightly rhythmic workout on "Sleigh Ride," with KT on toy piano, a rocked-up "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a stylish version of "Mele Kalikimaka" and a melancholy take on "Lonely This Christmas," originally made by 70s British pop band Mud. Nice work, could be improved with a few more songs and a general release.
