Polite and precise Golden Age Christmas carol revivalism from Ingrid Michaelson, who is a better singer the less affect she deploys. Ingrid Michaelson, ‘Songs for the Season’ Claus,” a duet with Lucie Silvas, which portrays the North Pole as a site of domestic disappointment, where a long-married couple air out their gripes, then settle them just in time for the big flight. “Bad Kid” is a lite-rockabilly boast from someone with “a black leather jacket and a real mean streak” who wants to find a way to enjoy the holiday: “I can’t help it, I was born like this/A permanent spot on the naughty list.” And “Hey Skinny Santa!” encourages Kriss Kringle to pack on the pounds after several months of slacking. The mopey “Socks” is a tongue-lashing to unoriginal gift givers. His holiday album, “Socks,” is a collection of original songs with startlingly original conceits. JD McPherson is a vivid reinterpreter of the strutting rock ’n’ roll of the 1950s. But it’s telling that the happiest song here is called “Let’s Skip Christmas This Year.”

That aside, throughout most of this album, Crowell is having fun - singing with arched eyebrow and tongue firmly in cheek. And “Merry Christmas From an Empty Bed,” a stark duet with Brennen Leigh, refracts the holiday through the tragic loneliness it can engender. The jaunty “Christmas Everywhere” is a quizzical shrug about scrambling to satisfy everyone’s needs. Rodney Crowell, ‘Christmas Everywhere’Ī rollicking Christmas album from an old country punk with a rich skepticism about holiday traditions, Rodney Crowell’s “Christmas Everywhere” is good-natured and wry, an album about how adults struggle to process a holiday oriented toward children. Together, they make for songs that hold the exuberance of the rest of the world at bay, at least for one eve. Clapton sings with emotion that ranges from worn-out to weepy, and his guitar is a cudgel of cloudy gloom. This set of modestly scaled blues remakings of classics finds dignity in the downtrodden. Eric Clapton’s “Happy Xmas” is for those places: the anti-celebrations. But they also happen in bars, the darkened sort where glee goes to die, or at least drown itself in a pileup of pints. Eric Clapton, ‘Happy Xmas’Ĭhristmas celebrations take place in homes, in offices and at performance venues. So whether your Christmas is a merry one or a grumpy one, press play. There are traditional holiday tunes polished to a sheen songs that approach festive joy through completely new musical lenses and numbers that use familiar frameworks to deliver subversive messages. For both groups, however, there is new music this year - a soundtrack for all the seasonal moods.

Those for whom the season is about celebration and those who seek solace as soon as the evergreens come out. There are holiday embracers and holiday dissenters.
