|
 | If Every Day Was Like Christmas by Elvis Presley
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.89 This is the full package - every Christmas song Elvis ever recorded. "I'll - be home - for Christ-mas... whoa-ho-ho-yeah..."
|
 | Christmas Island by Leon Redbone

 | Angels' Glory - Christmas Music for Voice & Guitar
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.97 Ms. Battle may be my favorite vocalist. (And I'm NOT a big opera fan!) Boy howdy, does that lady have a set of PIPES?!!? She's accompanied here by classical guitar virtuoso Parkening (they've been on other outings together), and the music is NOT your standard Christmas fare.
|
 | Cowboy Christmas by Michael Martin Murphey
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.45 Oh give me a home where the buf-fa-lo roam, where Santa and his reindeer play...
|
 | Christmas Portrait by Carpenters
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $5.99 Pretty mainstream... a couple duds. (I don't care for the 2 or 3 songs that feature Richard's piano note-gush. A matter of personal taste.) But Karen Carpenter's lovely poignant voice is showcased nicely in several tracks. This is a nice one for background music while you decorate your tree or bake up some gingerbread men.
|
 | Yule Struttin' by Various Artists
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.96 There are many, MANY compilations of jazz-artist Christmas tunes. This is my favorite.
|
 | Diana Krall Christmas Songs by Diana Krall
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.74 The best "sultry" Christmas music, combined with some hot big-band numbers. Diana has her chops down.
|
 | Christmas with the Canadian Brass by Canadian Brass
Buy used from: $1.79 4 very talented guys with horns, and an awesome pipe organ, playing Christmas music. Could you ask for more?
