Todd Almond - A Pony for Christmas (2021) Hi Res

Todd Almond’s debut holiday album A Pony for Christmas is an inspired folk-pop take on the classic holiday album, weaving personal, original compositions with new versions of traditional carols and unexpected reworkings of pop songs. A Pony for Christmas – which masterfully combines folk, rock, pop and theater influences – started as an idea from Todd’s mother.

“Every year for, oh, twenty-something years, she has asked me to make a Christmas album for her,” he remembers. “And every year I haven’t done it. Her 70th birthday landed in the middle of the pandemic and I struggled with what to get her that showed just how much I love her. Then one day it hit me. A Christmas album, of course. And there was the inspiration I needed.”
