It’s easy to take potshots at awful Christmas songs. Here are just a few of the solid ones I have in my hours and hours of Christmas music.
The Oh Hellos of San Marcos have a Family Christmas Album out. Here’s a sample, “Begin and Never Cease.”
Jason Gray’s Christmas Stories album. Here’s a sample, “Christmas is Coming”:
Bruce Cockburn’s Christmas. Here’s a sample, “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” set in a minor key
Over the Rhine’s Snow Angels is one of my favorites. “Here it Is” was written by the husband of this husband-wife duo as his recommitment to the marriage after a time of estrangement:
Kathy Matea’s got 2 Christmas albums out: Good News and Joy For Christmas Day. From the second album, here’s “All Because of Him.”
From Red Mountain Music’s Silent Night here’s “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent”--
Ron Sexsmith’s "Maybe This Christmas" is poignant.
