For the last few days Bob's been asking me to make him a Christmas CD, and I finally sat down last night (very late last night) to finish it up for him. He said he wanted some traditional songs, and "some of your weird ones." I worked hard to get that balance right. Here's his playlist:
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - The Barenaked Ladies
- Deck the Halls - Mannheim Steamroller
- Jingle Bells - Earl Scruggs
- Anno Domine - Trans Siberian Orchestra
- Christmas Must be Tonight - The Band
- Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - Mannheim Steamroller
- Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea
- Better Days (Acoustic Version) - Goo Goo Dolls
- The Virgin Mary - Mason Williams
- That Old Christmas Moon - Leon Redbone
- We Three Kings - The Roches
- A Song of Christmas - Lowen & Navarro
- Christmas Bayou - BeauSoleil
- Winter Wonderland - Lenny B & Madison Park
- I'll Be Home for Christmas - Leon Redbone
- Christmas All Over Again - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
- Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
- Here We Come Wassailing - Fred Waring & The Pennsylvanians
- Christmas Time - Smashing Pumpkins
- Oh Tannenbaum - Vince Guaraldi
I'm still working on one for me, leaning very heavily toward the "weird" side.
