I'm sure part of my fondness for it is hearing it repeatedly as a child, but even today I appreciate the musicianship on Joe Dolce's Christmas album. (Roger McLachlan on bass -- not complex, but very tasteful bass lines throughout!)

 

[PeckBass]

Hmm Favorite Christmas Tune….
This one! The one I just put out!
All new for 2021 I give you..
SANTA WANNA DANCE!



54 tracks of instruments and 3 vocal parts! Fretless bass abound, guitar heavy, check out the timpani part!
I must admit I played all the parts, the wife and I sang. Home studio madness!

"Christmas Must Be Tonight" - The Band:

 

[hbarcat]

The Vince Guaraldi version of "What Child is This" from the soundtrack to "A Charlie Brown Christmas".

I sang in a church choir for several years as a boy and was in chorus and madrigals through high school and college, so I'm very partial to multi part vocal songs. I particularly like "Carol of the Bells" and "The Wassail Song".

Hearing Handel's "Messiah" sung with a full choir is an amazing experience.



I absolutely detest "Frosty the Snowman" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

 

[ElectroVibe]

A great acappella version

 

[evil dewars]

Low Christmas is such a great album and Just Like Christmas is one of the best recent and original holiday songs.

But to me, the stunner is If You Were Born Today:


That whole album gets me every single time but this one is a complete gut punch.

I've just discovered that song and am loving it. Was actually going to post it

Great song by John Legend. Don't know who played bass on it but it sounds great

"George's" lead guitar is even a little flat like the original.
