Non-Standard Christmas/Holiday Music I like, ..and yours?
Yes, there is no denying Nat Cole, Bing Crosby and many other well know and well loved Christmas/Holiday songs/albums. And with that said, are there any Christmas/Holiday albums/CD/SACD/etc. that you feel are part of the season for you and yours?
Mine would be from Tuck Andress, Anne Murray (yes..Anne Murray), Nancy Wilson, Jo Stafford, Johnny Mercer, Margaret Whiting, Les Paul, Vince Guarldi and several more.
Nancy Wilson's "What are You Doing for New Year's"...yes a "holiday" song can sound sensual, The Canadian Brass, The Four Seasons, and for something further out...Gloria Estefan doing "Christmas Through Your Eyes".....which is all about what the holiday is all about, Children.
Please share yours.

The soundtrack from "The Last Days of Disco" is the Gold Standard in our household (for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah & New Years). For our exstended/close (non blood) family their Gold Standard for the holidays is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeUfDTn5huM Though I was not a Disco fan (@ the time it was happening) I was playing in "copy R&B bands" prior to the Beatles being on Ed Sullivan, but eventually many, many, many years later got the drift of how good it really was/is. I’m currently looking into early Hall & Oats albums since watching Daryl’s House on cable (other than a few songs I feel that I overlooked them as well - being and x-musician/music snob). We also play Smokey, Al Green and Dylan’s Euro live concert (64?) as well as "Blonde on Blonde". The oddest one is probably Mink Deville, which is also in the mix. Edit: Also add Carole King "Tapestry". DeKay |
