Previously I made a post about the joy of old Christmas music, but now it's time to update. Here are a few of my favorite modern Christmas songs, and sorry if a few oldies get thrown in there...they are just too good.
Sufjan Stevens - Songs For Christmas- is running my life right now. Everything this man does is perfect, so why would it be any different with Christmas music? This five disc set includes all the classics, and a bunch of his own Christmas music.
Key Tracks: Put The Lights Up On The Tree , Come Thou Fount of Every , Joy To The World
A Hipster's Holiday - This Christmas album is awesome. Composed of both classic, and modern Christmas tunes, this record is the perfect R&B/Jazz Christmas album. Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and Mabel Scott are a few of the various artists on it. Each song flows like a set list in a nightclub. I love dancing to this Christmas album!
Key Tracks: ( cant seem to find any youtubes) BUY THIS ALBUM@!@#!!!!
James Taylor - At Christmas Who doesn't like James Taylor? 'Fire and Rain' 'Sweet Baby James' 'You've Got a Friend' claaaaaaaaassics! His voice is soothing to the ears, I love listening to him when i go to sleep. It seems like it never takes too long, i just drift off into a wonderful dream.
Key Tracks: Baby It's Cold Outside , Merry Little Christmas
Other Great Songs: Wonderful Christmas Time , Happy Christmas , Last Christmas
