What Are You Listening To? (Christmas Version)

What Christmas song are you listening to right now?

Oíche Chiuin- Enya

I'm not a big Christmas music person.

But I've been listening to Tori Amos' new winter album, "Midwinter Graces." It's not a Christmas album, per se, but many of the songs are based on traditional holiday hymns, then re-tooled with a mind toward ancient winter ceremonies. There's a big emphasis on light ceremonies. Even so, the whole feel of the album is very holiday. Beautiful music, overall.


ETA: Also in my rotation is "Chris Isaak Christmas," more usual Christmas carols, but with a delightful Chris Isaak sound. I'm also considering picking up The Mediaeval Baebes' "Mistletoe and Wine," I got a free download of their version of The Coventry Carol that is really nice.

Burl Ives "little drummer boy"

I like Burl Ives.

One of my favorites! I love Frank.

I've been listening to Paul Byrom's Christmas album, it's my favorite. And also just mixed cd's of songs and artists. Bing Crosby to Josh Groban.

For this week only - iTunes has a free Christmas sampler with 21 songs on it. I'm not listening to it right now - but I am downloading it.
