The Dish describes her work as follow: "Songs you love. Songs you hate. Songs you love to hate. Whatever the case may be, there is no way you can remain neutral after hearing this cd. It has all the Christmas classics crammed into a fabulous 2 disk set. Rock out to Christmas with AC/DC, The Darkness, B.B. King and U2. Relive the beauty of Wham! Boney M. and Band-Aid. Dance along to Ricky Martin or hula to Mele Kalikimaka. This Christmas collection has something for everyone. So put it on and prepare to be dazzled!" I could not have said it better myself!
From top to bottom, Fromage continues the Hungry Lucy tradition of mellow christmas jingles with tinsel grooves, catchy snowflake melodies and enchanting gingerbread vocals. This album branches out into heart warming christmas rock & interstellar holiday funk in "Ay, Ay, Ay, It’s Christmas" and "What Can You Get a Wookiee For Christmas" as well as "Space Christmas", traditional on "Mele Kalikimaka" and classic torch song on the emotional "Do They Know It’s Christmas Time".
What else is there to say. This reviewer has not seen a cooler compilation since the glory days of K-Tel (what ever happeded to K-Tel anyways?). Classics, classics, classics. So much gooey goodness, it's a shame Christmas only happens once a year.
Meet the Christmas Dish herself in all her splendor this Saturday at the first annual Palmer Christmas Bash. Autographed copies of the album will be available at the event.

There could be no higher compliment than to be compared to K-tel. Thanks Ben! And, K-tel is still around! http://www.ktel.com
Ha!
Love it. Trish, lookin' good girl!
FROMAGE! Mmmmm...
These are cool. Good selection. Some are quite cheezy!
Cheese makes me fart -- but I like it anyway! Trish, you rock!
That CD reminds me of Christmas, on the dissapointment end. Where are the classic musicians? Where are they? ACDC? The Star Wars Intergalactic Droid Choir(NERD!)
No Ertha Kitt and Santa Baby, Kylie instead? Whats this backdoor santa all about? Its disgusting none the less!
Boo-bart! Boo-bart!
SC

Listen SC
We had a silent auction at work and people were fighting to have that cd. Many co-workers left in tears that day. You're just jealous..
Santa Baby had to be the Kylie one!
Mmmmmmmm Kylie!
One day we shall meet.
Trish, how many fromages are on that picture? You should make people guess and give a CD to the winner.
I say 5 fromages! Am I right Trishinator?
My vote is for 8 kinds!
so where can I get my copy!!!
I am currently working my fingers to the bone to fill requests for this album. The secret of how many cheeses will be revealed at the Palmer Xmas Party. :o)
