Ho, ho, ho!! Funny how the world is divided between people who just love Christmas music, and those who loathe it with an almost equal fervor. Me? I guess I fall somewhere in the middle... There are those countless songs that are simply great to sing along with, and yet Christmas music (and the rampant commercialism of the season) inexorably lends itself to the worst and cheesiest impulses among oh, so many artists...

Crystal Gayle "Crystal Christmas" (Warner Brothers, 1986)


The Geezinslaws "Lighten Up, It's Christmas" (Step One Records, 2005)
A 2-song EP...


Vince Gill "Let There Be Peace On Earth" (MCA Records, 1993)


Vince Gill "Breath Of Heaven: A Christmas Collection" (MCA Records, 1998)


Mickey Gilley "Christmas At Gilley's" (Epic Records, 1981)


Billy Gilman "Classic Christmas" (Sony Records, 2000)
Yeesh. Yeesh. Yeesh. And anyway, whatever happened to Billy Gilman...? Did his voice change or something? Anyway, the kid was all of twelve years old when this album came out, and for a child star, his phrasing and vocal control are impressive (I guess...) but honestly, he's just too young to put much sincere emotion into any of these songs -- it's just a well-produced, glitzy Star Search-ish pop outing, too cutesy by half. And not very "country," either... Sounds more like like Harry Connick, Jr. than Hank Williams.


Amy Grant "The Christmas Collection" (MCA Universal, 2003)
Bleahh. She takes herself sooooooooo seriously, and she's such a drip! You'd be better off picking up something by the Carpenters.


Lorne Greene "Christmas On The Ponderosa" (RCA Victor, 1963) (LP)


Lorne Greene "Have A Happy Holiday" (RCA Victor, 1965) (LP)


Lee Greenwood "Christmas To Christmas" (MCA Records, 1985)


Lee Greenwood "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" (Free Falls Records, 2001)


Clinton Gregory "For Christmas" (Step One Records, 1993)


David Grisman "Acoustic Christmas" (Rounder Records, 1983)
This holiday offering by bluegrass mandolin king David Grisman sure has some mighty fine picking on it... He starts of all kind of Elizabethan and lute-y, then gets all jazzy-noodly and Grismanesque... It's okay, but I think I'd like it better if he stuck closer to the melodies and went less far out on the flights of fancy.
