Thread Name: major artists who never did a Xmas album
Subject: RE: major artists who never did a Xmas album
My wife and I have a big Christmas CD collection, and, I can assure you, so many people have recorded Christmas albums, that it would be perilous to assume that, just because you haven't seen it, it isn't out there.

-a current fave is Boxcar Willie. I the Ventures Christmas album is a perennial favorite, as well as the Roches, and John Prine--

What I would love, perhaps more than anything, would be a Jimi Hendrix Christmas album, but, for many years, through the late 60's to fairly recently, Christmas music wasn't cool, as far as pop artists were concerned--anyone at a record company who suggested such a project would have probably been stripped of their love beads, had their poncho turned inside out, and shown the door.

A Delta Blues christmas collection would be great--

Oh, I woke up this morning, I believe that Christmas is here, Oh, I woke up this morning, I believe that Christmas is here, My woman left with Santa and his Reindeer.

Sorry, I am getting silly here, but the idea of Jewel and Garth Brooks together makes me laugh.
