Description:
There are a lot of modern rockers who consider this to be THE great Christmas album of the last 25 years or so. Originally released as a 7-song LP in 1986, and as a 17-song CD in 1993, this Chris Stamey-conceived holiday classic appears on the `Collectors Choice Music` label with six new tracks, including a song by Peter Holsapple, `Home for the Holidays`, performed by the dBs; `Christmas Time Is Here` Thad Cockrell & Roman Candle; `Lonely Christmas` Marshall Crenshaw; two tunes by R.E.M. producer Don Dixon, `I Saw Three Ships` and `Christmas Is Saturday`, and an unreleased track by Ryan Adams & Whiskeytown, `Houses on the Hill`! And the albums older tracks are pretty darn cool, too: `Jesus Christ` Big Star; `The Christmas Song` Alex Chilton; `Christmas Time; Holiday Spirit; Feliz Navidad` dBs; `The Only Law That Santa Claus Understood; Santas Moonlit Sleighride` Ted Lyons; `Its a Wonderful Life` Chris Stamey; `Youre What I Want for Christmas` Chris Stamey & Cathy Harrington; `Snow Is Falling` Chris Stamey & Mary Mac; `Sha La La` Cathy Harrington; `Christmas Is the Only Time` Wes Lachot; `O Holy Night` Peter Holsapple; `Silent Nocturne` Brent Lambert, and `Christmas Light` Keegan DeWitt & the Sparrows. 21 tracks of Christmas harmony!
