As you already know, 103 WFXD has been playing our collection of country Christmas music throughout our day. However, some listeners just can’t get enough Christmas music so I found a list of Country Christmas albums that you may consider if you’re wishing to expand your Christmas music catalog.
Consider that in 1949, singing cowboy Gene Autry topped the country charts with “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” while at the same time, Ernest Tubb had the No. 1 song on jukeboxes: his early version of “Blue Christmas,” which would go on to be recorded perhaps most famously by Elvis Presley.
10. Faith Hill, ‘Joy to the World 2008 sounding both genuinely excited or deeply touched in this recording.
9. Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, ‘Once Upon a Christmas’ Biggest seller of the 1980’s
8. Martina McBride, ‘White Christmas’ 2007 release – 16 tracks of pure Christmas joy!
7. Emmylou Harris, ‘Light of the Stable’ beautifully conveying the range of emotions of the holiday season.
