It's on my favourite Christmas compilation (sadly only on CD) Blue Christmas (2004, CD)

Particularly like this from it

Here's a good one I haven't seen posted yet - Willie's Pretty Paper from 1979. His voice is in top form and features organ and productuon by Booker T Jones.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Two underappreciated gems. The Sonny Boy song is pretty crazy...

 

[Russ I]

I’ve got this one on CD and like it quite a bit.

 

[LeeVing]

Jethro Tull – Ring Out, Solstice Bells
Chrysalis – CHS 3 PDJ, 1976

Only available in the US as this Radio Only promo 12"

I'm still waiting for their Christmas Album to get a vinyl reissue...so I go to Spotify for that.

I've been spinning a lot of Christmas music, but not sharing much.

Qobuz has a good ‘Country Christmas’ playlist that I’m streaming a fair bit lately; much to the sheer frustration of my wife!

This will always be my #1 Christmas album. It and John Denver's Rocky Mountain Christmas were my family's main jams growing up.

So I'm at work and really just running through versions of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). It seems it goes into three categories

OG and Diva (super strong female vocal with the traditional backing chorus support - though no one does it like Darlene)
#sadboys (downtempo, melancholy male vocals usually with a band accompaniment)
Country (country)

I generally trend to the first two but here are a few other gems/cool versions popped up. So four of my favorites below

Darlene Love (all versions but the last Letterman clip is so good)



Slow Club (pound for pound my favorite Christmas EP in recent memory)



Death Cab For Cutie (downtone sadness done by the masters)



Maddie and Tae (this one surprised me, I love their production choices)

Finally getting in the spirit to spin some Christmas albums
