While we're still approaching Christmas, I thought I'd take a moment to post a couple more Christmas favorites, this time from James Taylor's "At Christmas". These songs definitely get me in the mood for hot chocolate, christmas cookies, and the 12+ inches of snow that currently blanket Boston.
The first track is a more secular carol, and features Natalie Cole in a great duet. It does seem a little creepy at times, since James is probably a lot older than Natalie and seems kind of desperate to keep her in his home, but overlooking that it's a great song.
The second is the old classic "Have Yourself A Merry little Christmas". Taylor does a great job with it - in fact, he did it before on the album October Road in addition to this Christmas one. I love this song, despite the fact that its roots are pretty dismal. Check out the creepy original version from Meet Me In St. Louis:
Weird. But the James Taylor version is much more uplifting.
That's all for now, have a great Christmas! Top 10 list coming soon, I promise!
