Check out the new Christmas CD in the Lomax series from Rounder (ROUN 1719, I think). While you're at it, look at the Folk-Legacy web page under "English folk music" for the several "Nowell Sing We Clear" CDs by John Roberts and Tony Barrand. There's even a CD called "'Twas On a Night Like This" which contains some other "seasonal" material, not all Christmas. You can see it by clicking on the cover image at the top of the CD page. AND, for my idea of a great solstice song, listen to Gordon Bok's "Turning Toward the Morning" on Bok, Muir & Trickett's "The First Fifteen Years, Volume 1," (CD-1003) and "Turning of the Year" on the brand new "Harbors of Home" CD, also described on the web site. Hope this helps.
