I wanted to give a little shout-out to the recently added feature in the column to the right where my husband shares his latest music crazes. While he has previously spoken of his deep respect for Radiohead, he has also admitted to getting quite caught up in David Archuleta's Crush. This month he presents some of his recommended Christmas music, and I thought I would add my favorite songs for Christmas listening here:
--"In the Bleak Mid Winter" by Sissel (Sarah Mclachlan's version is pretty fantastic too.)
Her enchanting voice carries you to a new realm of beauty and mystery. Love the message of the song.
--"Little Drummer Boy" by the King Singers
A captivating version of the song. Soft, engaging, with lots of harmonies.
--"Mamacita, ¿Donde esta Santa Claus?" by Guster
You can't help moving to this one! It makes me miss by girls, Cass and Hil.
--"The River" by Rachael Yamagata
This version is raw, natural and very longing. Love it.
--"Song for a Winter's Evening" by Sarah Mclachlan
I really enjoy her entire Christmas album. Her melodies are pure and clear. She doesn't fancy them up runs and such. This particular song came out before her Christmas album "Wintersong" and I remember driving home from Rexburg listening to it on repeat for nearly an hour! I love her version of I'll Be Home for Christmas, too. This CD is a must listen.
My list of great and fun Christmas music could go on, but these are my cream of the crop picks. I hope you look them up and give them a listen. Are any of you passionate about songs you think I should add to my list?
