Christmas in Canada: Ginette Reno "Traineau"
Today’s Christmas in Canada song is Quebec singer, Ginette Reno’s, rendition of "Traineau" which is the French version of "Sleigh Ride." It is my favorite Christmas carol and Reno’s is my favorite version (I’m not even sure I know all the words in English!).
Her voice is rich, as usual, and the arrangement ranges from downright traditional to swinging and jazzy. This was the best video I could find (just ignore that clanking from the horse-drawn carriage at the beginning – what were they thinking?).
