Carpenters, Schmarpenters.
This is a sweet, simple, extraordinary album from a genius folk-pop singer-songwriter duo. The two pure, unaffected voices blend into simple but unusual, sometimes almost recklessly parallel harmonies; the lyrics are poetic and never more clever than is needed; the effect is an effortless, infectious, grownup innocence.
Everyone on my Christmas list is getting this CD.

Wow! You sold me. "Take It From Me" was a free eMusic daily dl some time ago. I got it and liked it but wasn't sure I wanted to commit to the album. You made that decision for me. Just finished downloading.
