Description
|
|
|
|
The founding father of bluegrass and other legends lead off this 18-track collection of comfort and joy, with "Christmas Time's A-Comin'" by Bill Monroe, "Christmas Is Near" by the Stanley Brothers, "Christmas Time Back Home" by the Country Gentlemen, and "Bluegrass Christmas" by the McCoury Brothers. Emmylou Harris's "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" and Lynn Morris's "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" bring the dulcet tones of the ladies into the mix, while contemporary powerhouses Del McCoury ("Call Collect on Christmas") and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver ("Merry Christmas From Our House to Yours" and "The First Noel / It Came Upon a Midnight Clear / Joy to the World") join the festivities as well.
