Where’s your Christmas album?

Five artists who need holiday cheer

Every year at this time, we’re (thankfully) inundated with a cornucopia of new Christmas music. Just in time for Thanksgiving are the songs for the next month, and this year is no different with holiday releases from Lauren Daigle, JJ Heller, Marc Martel, Amy Grant, Josh Garrels and more.

That said, we’re also tired of waiting on a few artists who would have something fresh, inventive and meaningful to add to the Christmas catalog. One of these years, we’re hoping these artists will hear the yuletide pull and record a Christmas album of their own.

NEEDTOBREATHE | Sometime around The Outsiders’ (buy) release, NEEDTOBREATHE gave us an awesome, folksy take on “Go Tell It On The Mountain.” So how great would a full-length Christmas record from these guys be? Of course, given the more pop direction they’ve taken this year, we wouldn’t mind a good ol’ fashioned Possum Kingdom Christmas with some throwbacks to the classic NTB sound.
