Give me your recommendations for your favorite Christmas albums that are worth checking out, preferably ones that aren’t as obvious as Elvis’s Christmas Album or Frank Sinatra. In particular, I’m looking for albums that will hold up to repeated listening over time.
A few of my favorites: Joe Williams “That Holiday Feeling”, Tony Bennett “Snowfall,” Ella Fitzgerald, and Oscar Peterson (great version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”). Right this this moment I am listening to Dianne Reeves’s Christmas album for the first time, which is just marvelous.
