our family likes Christmas music. for years we've made Christmas mix CDs of music that we can tolerate. it can be folky, jazzy, bluesy, punky or even cheesy. as long as its not traditional. here's some new Christmas music you can check out. it's cheap or free.... NoiseTrade lets you pay what you like.
Ten out of Tenn Christmas - artists from Nashville, Tennessee, including Butterfly Boucher and Kaite Herzig
Folk Angel - err.. it's folky...
Paste Magazine 2011 Christmas Sampler - include Kate Miller-Heidke, Toad the Wet Sprocket and The Polyphonice Spree - how's that for variety...
Sleeping at Last - subdued. some of it is nice.
Anna Gilbert sampler - folky but fairly straight and sweet
Sandra McCracken - lo-fi kitchen table acoustic recording
Beta Radio - more lo-fi. a bit like Mumford and Sons...
Lauren Melendez - "A Very Ukulele Christmas" - speaks for itself, really
and then for cheese there's this...
and here's some more non-Christmas music from NoiseTrade for free.
I have to say that there are some great tracks on the Indigo Girls' "Holly Happy Days"....
stay tuned for my 2011 top Ten...
