Traditional Christmas Clssics submitted by Meginator on July 19, 2020, 1:20pm This comprehensive compilation takes a traditional approach to holiday music, including most of the canonical classics and a few songs that have since fallen by the wayside. The musical style is primarily mid-century pop and country, with a few choral and instrumental selections for good measure; most of these renditions stick pretty closely to the songs’ most common versions, making them feel comfortably familiar even as they differ slightly from the songs most frequently played on the radio and in stores. This is a great option for those wanting a long set of holiday music that will please a broad audience.
