Dinsdale's Festive Faves Day Six (Robert Shaw Chorale, Anita Kerr, José Feliciano , Manheim Steamroller, Cerys...)

 



 

Another day, another lucky seven festive favorites (plus a bonus playlist)...


Robert Shaw Chorale - Christmas Hymns and Carols Vol 1 (1954)




The Anita Kerr Singers ‎– Spend This Holiday With Me (1969)





José Feliciano (1970)


Led off by the holiday hall of fame classic Feliz Navidad, this wonderful Christmas album is full of mellow folk, with a dash of easy, renditions of familiar standards done in the, now, familiar Feliciano style. Heavy rotation year in, year out.


Re-christened after the mega-hit it spawned, a deluxe version with bonus tracks is available for streaming.



Manheim Steamroller - Christmas (1984)




Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band - A Tapestry of Carols (1987)





The Sixteen - Christus Natus (1996)




Cerys Matthews - Baby It’s Cold Outside (2012)
