I always thought that I had an extensive collection of Christmas music CDs but being home most of the time during the pandemic and putting 5 CDs at a time on shuffle, I already realize I need some new selections and it is early in the season.

Any suggestions for music that I should have to round out a Christmas collection would be greatly appreciated.  I have a pretty eclectic taste in music so any ideas of your favorites would be appreciated.

Happy Holidays fellow Sox Fans!!

One of my personal favorites is a guy named Gary Hoey.  It is rocked up versions of Christmas songs.

Thanks, Tex...That is tremendous!!

robert earl keen - nice grab. 

 

I'd recommend Kacey Musgraves christmas album - not all re-treads which is a welcome. new original music is nice

Chance the rapper just released an album today with jerimih too. That will test your eclectic tastes - Kacey Musgraves and Chance the Rapper. 

I've also been a fan of the Kenny Chesney christmas album too. Renee Fleming has a few good ones too.

All nice suggestions, thank you Brian...No problem testing my eclectic taste as the current discs I have on shuffle are The Ventures, Leslie Odom Jr, Charlie Brown, Bette Midler and The New Christy Minstrels....Kacey and Chance will fit in nicely 

On the traditional side I've worn out Johnny Mathis' Christmas Album.

I actually heard it first when a friend of mine included it in his show. There is at least one line that someone identifies with.

Wow, that is some good stuff that I had not heard before.  Thanks Vulture.

Would highly recommend the album 'A Gift From God or Whatever' by Chris Farren for anyone remotely interested in punk and/or indie rock

Nat King Cole “The Christmas Song.”

Small Town Titans “You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch”

Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas album

The True Value Christmas music CD that has older classics on it, like Perry Como and Jose Feliciano.

One of the reasons I love teaching. So many talented kids walking the hallways.
