Here you go Ray Coniff Singers - We Wish You a Merry Christmas full album.


Happy Holiday's!
 
I don't know why, I've never been into big name pop or rock stars doing Christmas albums. For whatever reason I'd rather hear relative unknowns do those kinds of songs. These You Tubers have been doing cover songs for forever, around the holidays they also mix in some Christmas songs.

My girl loves "Harry (Connick) for the Holidays." As usual, he's got a tremendous band of New Orleans players backing him.

My wife loves listening to Christmas music once Thanksgiving is over. So I wouldn't have to listen to the same versions of holiday songs over and over again, I got into the habit of getting her as a gift a couple new holiday albums every Christmas. We now have a sizable and varied holiday collection, including a few already mentioned including Nat King Cole and Bela Fleck.

Possibly our favorite holiday album is American Folk Songs for Christmas, by Mike Seeger and various members of his family (Pete Seeger is a notable exception)

Other big favorites of ours include the following albums:

The Chieftains - The Bells of Dublin
Blackmore's Night - Winter Carols
Patty Loveless - Bluegrass & White Snow
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Christmas Caravan
Blind Boys of Alabama - Go Tell it on the Mountain

Believe me, there are a bunch of others I could list.

We tend to go with a lot of the classics, Sinatra, Mathis, Conniff etc. My wife uses some to decorate the stairway (wreath nearby). We also have an unreleased Christmas compilation album of more modern tunes that was issued to/for DJs. It has many of the songs on this list, Kinks, Waitresses etc.
