Light Of The Stable

You won’t hear about Santa or reindeer here—instead, Emmylou Harris sings like an angel on this traditional Christmas album with a few twists. Her stunning a cappella version of “The First Noel” echoes long after it finishes, while “Christmas Time’s A-Coming” is a gentle country canter with sweetly cooing harmonies. Speaking of harmonies, you can hear guests Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Neil Young on some tracks, including the heavenly hallelujahs of the title track.
