Nov 7, 2011
The end of October and early November usually means that will be some new Christmas and holiday albums coming out to add to your holly jolly holiday collection. With retailers jumping on the Christmas bandwagon one week before the Halloween holiday, it gets kind of difficult for me and others that I know to hold off on playing some “Jingle Bells” and other cheerful tunes. This year I had vowed to at least wait until Thanksgiving day to turn on some of my favorite Christmas jams, unfortunately there are just too many new Christmas albums out for me to hold off. The good news is that I did at least get past Halloween. That is good, right? So, what albums will I be playing until December 26th? Let’s take a look…
Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Volume 2 – Twelve tracks, with two original songs all sung by the Glee club members that we all love. What could be better? The cast performs some of their favorite holiday songs like “Let It Snow” and “All I Want For Christmas is You.” One of my favorite tracks is Naya’s rendition of “Santa Baby.”
A Very She & Him Christmas, She & Him – Zooey Deschanel’s classic and soulful voice paired with M. Ward on the acoustic guitar singing Christmas songs is just perfect. This has got to be one of my most favorite Christmas albums of all time. Everything about it just makes me feel warm and puts me in the spirit. Their version of “Blue Christmas” is amazing!
Christmas, Michael Buble – Ahhhh…talk about a voice that makes me melt. Michael Buble has got such a smooth way about him that just captivates me. This is a great album for any Christmas music collector, as you are sure to love his versions of some true classics. Another bonus on the album has got to be the duet with Shania Twain on “White Christmas.”
