We need music more than ever this holiday season Back to video
Well, you can’t have a Christmas party this year (thanks, COVID) but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fill your home with beautiful holiday music. In fact, we need music more than ever. Break a chunk off the roof of the gingerbread house, grab a candy cane from the highest bough of your tree, pour yourself a rum & eggnog and slouch back on the couch to bask in the nostalgic sounds of these records.
Willie Nelson – Pretty Paper
(Sony/Columbia, 1979)
The record is over 40 years old but I just discovered it this year. Willie sings ten Christmas classics and two originals. Producer/arranger Booker T Jones had just recorded Willie’s legendary Stardust album the previous year and returned for this project. Known for his Hammond B3 playing as leader of Booker T & the MGs, Jones lends his organ prowess to this album as well.
