2020 Holiday music thread

[Centerstream]

Darci Lynne, a real phenom (IMO)

 

[JordyG]

My current favorite of this 50's classic:

 

[Monte]

 

[Ozimoto]

Then there is this gem.

 

[Bama fan]

That girl can sing!

 

[EricLA]

One of the lesser known songs sung by Jordan Smith on The Voice - man can that guy sing...

 

[EricLA]

A religious song by Carrie Underwood - How Great Thou Art - that is not a Christmas song - amazing voice and song...

That girl can sing!

I believe her name is Lisa Layne. I saw her at the Medora Musical in North Dakota and was absolutely astounded with her singing much of the Patsy Cline songbook. She has portrayed Patsy in a number of musicals and she looked just like her. I think she still performs. So here's an OT of the OT from Lisa:

 

[MSGRET]

One of my favorite Pentatonix, Hallelujah.

You are correct, Lisa Layne is the singer and I really, really enjoy listening to her and the rest of Vince Vance and the Valiants doing this song.
Back in the days when I worked, this would be my new email notification for the month of December. Luckily I was working from home so it bothered no one.

 

[MSGRET]

Then their version of Mary, Did You Know?

 

[MSGRET]

Then there's "Joy To the World".

 

[MSGRET]

One of my favorites by Nat King Cole.

OK time for Eartha. The Catwoman grabs the mic for one of her hits.

 

[Hoops66]

One of Bing's other classics:

 

[Bigboote]

This is one of the most creative renditions of a traditional carol:

 

[Bigboote]

Another from our lady of the harp. This whole album was recorded in a cathedral in (IIRC) Ireland; the sound is spectacular.

Kate Rusby has an angelic voice. She has quite a few Christmas songs, some traditional and some not. I picked this one because it's not yet another rendition of a song I've heard a thousand times.

 

[nwhoopfan]

My parents had this Christmas album, brings back good memories.



edit--the song is Country Christmas

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pretty sure I heard some hurdy gurdy in one of those Loreena McKennitt songs, so that got me thinking of this artist. She usually is solo but brought along a bunch of friends for this song.

 

[nwhoopfan]

One more. These You Tubers have a ton of covers of rock and pop songs. This time of year they mix in some Christmas songs. (I think their name has to be a nod to Spinal Tap, right?)

[TerpWomenFan]

Definitely a classic.
