Christmas music is one of the first signs that the holiday season is approaching!
The newly released A Family Christmas will be sure to make your season bright with new renditions of classic holiday tunes, interpreted by artists of a variety of stylings, from swing to folk.
There is an acoustic version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” a jazzy “Is Zat You Santa Claus?,” performed by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Here We Come A-Wassaling sung by Kate Rusby with a Gaelic style that could well become a peasant anthem, a instrumental polka version of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, an islandly rendition of Mele Kalikimaka, (just to remind you of the Christmas Vacation movie), and a fabulously big band instrumental of “Frosty the Snowman”.
A Family Christmas is a total win! Get your copy and get ready for the holidays!
