Good Christmas Music

[Jared_Humpherys]

I'm looking to buy some good classic Christmas music. Any reccommendations?

Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack is good.

Not Elvis Christmas. His voice is SO bad on that album. He sounds like he's drunk and about to pass out.

Phil Spector's Christmas Album - among other fantastic, Wall O' Sound-type, uptempo versions of Christmas classics, is the original version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love (though most people now know the song via U2's sexless version).

Essential stuff.

I love the 3-CD set of "Christmas Cocktails" that Ultra Lounge put out a couple of years ago.

Get to hear such Great singers: Nancy Wilson, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Lou Rawls, Johnny Mercer, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, and many others.

Some of songs are: Christmas Kisses, Winter Wonderland, Frosty the Man,
Marshmellow World, Christmas Is, Cha-Cha all the way, and lots of other
FUN tunes to tap your toes by.

Low did a nice Christmas ep... if you like Low. YOu probably heard their cover of Little Drummer Boy in GAP commercials several years ago.

You can get it and hear some of it (in their player on the front page, down at the bottom of the palylist) at their site:

Anything with Fairytale of New York.

The Barra MacNeils Christmas album is a good one. The 'Love Actually' soundtrack has Olivia Olsen's version of 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', which is excellent. A group called the Mistletones did a couple of a cappella Christmas albums, and they're both good (especially the one with 'Christmas Dream' on it).

You want classic, find a Mitch Miller Christmas album.
