Your Favorite Holiday Recordings Are?

"Blue Yule". 18 Christmas songs by folks like Lightning Hopkins, Louis Jordan, Poppa Hop, Sonny Boy Williamson, Detroit Junior. All blues, all classic... On Rhino Records.

Esquivel - "Merry Xmas from the Space Age Bachelor Pad".

Vince Guaraldi Trio: Charlie Brown Christmas Music. A real classic!

James Taylor's Merry Little Christmas on his new album is a new favourite.

Craig,

If you like the Anne Murray Christmas CD, you might check out her "Croonin" CD...if you don't already have it. Some of the best covers of standards since Rosie Clooney and Ella.

Thanks to all of you, I now have a number of new titles to add to our collection.

P.S. Craig, ...Cheers is a wonderful salutation of good will...far from a cliche!

Best, Jim

Ottmar Liebert's "Poets and Angels" CD. Christmas favorites arranged for flamenco guitar. I know, I know. It all comes off quite well, though.
