More Free Christmas music


I know it's late, but here are a few more legal freebies for streaming or downloading:
  • A free compilation from Sounds Familyre with the following tracklist:
    1: ‘Christmas Eve Nite’ - Danielson
    2: ‘For There Is Born A Child’ - Lenny Smith
    3: ‘Plant A Little Fir Tree’ - Half-handed Cloud
    4: ‘Dayspring From On High’ - Soul-Junk
    5: ‘Pat-A-Pan’ - Leopulde
    6: ‘In The Bleak Midwinter’ - Dan Zimmerman
    7: ‘Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming’ - The Singing Mechanic
    8: ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ - Sufjan Stevens (new 11/2007 recording with other Sounds Familyre artists)
    9: ‘What Child Is This’ - Rachel
    10: ‘I Wonder As I Wander’ - Woven Hand
    11. ‘Christmas Is A Holiday’ - Ben + Vesper
    12. ‘Immanuel’ - Joshua Stamper
    13. ‘O Holy Night’ - Elin
  • Over the Rhine's special St. Elizabeth's show has surfaced on the Internet Archive. The setlist features a few classic tunes ("Poughkeepsie", "Jack's Valentine"), one Christmas song ("White Horse"), their famous Gillian Welch cover ("Orphan Girl"), a highlight from The Trumpet Child ("Don't Wait For Tom"), Drunkard's Prayer's "I Want You To Be My Love", and one new song ("Angel Band") - they made a point to focus on material that they did not play at the Taft show. There's also a generous amount of dialogue between the band and the crowd.
