Last Thursday was Thanksgiving, Friday was Black Friday, Saturday was small business Saturday, today is cyber Monday, tomorrow is giving Tuesday...but do you know what season it is?
It's Christmas music season.
The day after Thanksgiving is officially the unofficial day that it is socially acceptable to play Christmas music. Ready to rock around the Christmas tree in a Winter Wonderland listening to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" until December 25th?
Dolly Parton and Phoebe Bridgers have some new jingles to add to your Christmas mix this year.
Of the 51 studio albums that Dolly Parton has released since her 1967 debut, Hello, I'm Dolly, three of them are Christmas albums:
1984's Once Upon a Christmas (with Kenny Rodgers)
1990's Home for Christmas
2020's Holly Dolly Christmas
This year's Holly Dolly Christmas was released on October 2nd and it has 12 tracks (like the 12 days of Christmas!) including duets with Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson, Michael Buble, Jimmy Fallon, Billy Rae Cyrus and Randy Parton.
Before she was a Grammy Award nominated artist for 'Best New Artist', 'Best Alternative Album' (Punisher), 'Best Rock Song' ("Kyoto") and 'Best Rock Performance' ("Kyoto"), Phoebe Bridgers dropped her yearly holiday song.
In holidays' past she's gifted us versions of "Silent Night" (2019), "Christmas Song" (2018) and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" (2017). This year she's given us the of the gift of a cover of the Merle Haggard song "If We Make It Through December".
It's not your typical quote unquote Christmas song but it sure is fitting for 2020.
