A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS


One of my favorite christmas song ever recorded is a song called A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS. It was written by Johnny Marks, an American songwriter who is specialized in composting standard christmas songs like Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer, Rockin around the Christmas Tree etc.

First recorded by The Quinto Sisters in early 196o's but it was more popularized by BURL IVES. In 2009, American country music duo SUGARLAND recorded their own version and was featured in their christmas song collection cd titled Gold And Green.

CRYSTAL BOWERSOX: FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH


Idol runner up CRYSTAL BOWERSOX finally released her first album FARMERS DAUGHTER, a collection of musical mastery she displayed week after week on American Idol earlier this year.Stand out tracks includes the passionate title track, the pre-Idol Holy Toledo, Mason (a song she penned with her hubby Brian Walker), and the awesome Buffalo Springfield cover, For What It's Worth. Stream the song below:

Crystal's music is best described as pop/rock music with country influences. I'll just say that if you enjoy the music of Melissa Etheridge or the influence of Janis Joplin, you might consider giving this album a listen.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE...

Singer R. KELLY wrote and produced the song YOU ARE NOT ALONE for Michael Jackson back in 1995. And now his paying tribute to the King of Pop with a new version of this uplifting song.

The track will appear as a bonus cut on Kelly's upcoming album 'Love Le
tter'. Seeing as how he wrote it, his remake is good. It's more of a millenium track which younger generation would love to hear.
