With so many nearly perfect songs having no chance at making the ultimate disc it just makes sense to branch out and start working in The Perfect Santa Mix, The Perfect Christmas Romance and The Perfect Post-Modern Christmas ( and so on... names and themes subject to change blah blah blah).So, if your favorite doesn't land on the main comp. it'll more than likely show up somewhere.
Here are the new additions to The Perfect Christmas Mix candidate pool...
- Christmas Time in Louisiana - Johnnie Allan
- Christmas in Killarney - Bing Crosby
- Close Your Mouth (It's Christmas) - The Free Design
- Frosty The Snowman - Jimmy Durante
- It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Johnny Mathis
- Jingo Jango - Bert Kaempfert And His Orchestra
- Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
- Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming - Feist
- Merry X-Mas Everybody - Slade
- One Little Christmas Tree - Stevie Wonder
- Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town - The Ralph Hunter Choir
- Skating - Vince Guaraldi Trio
- The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
- Ring Christmas Bells/The First Noel/Jolly Old St. Nicholas - Frank DeVol & The Rainbow Strings
Surprises - Feist maybe, Slade perhaps.
No brainers - the Mathis, Beach Boys, and Guaraldi tracks, and of course the definitive "Christmas Song" performance from Nat King Cole.
