All right! The (recently) annual family Christmas CD has been decided. Last year, my brothers and sister exchanged CDs of our 15 favorite songs. This year it is our favorite cover songs. Not necessarily fifteen, but a full CD worth (I would say no less than 50 minutes). I have checked with the judges and they have agreed that covers of traditional songs counts. Therefore, one could do a whole CD of… Christmas songs! Not that I would, but it is possible.

And there may be a few covers in this lot:
Dropkick Murphys – “The Gangs All Here”
Memphis Minnie – “Hoodoo Lady: 1933-1937″ The greatest hits of one of the best female blues artists ever.
Billie Holiday – “All Of Me” Another best of.
R. L. Burnside – “Come On In”
Ray Charles – “The Genius Hits The Road” From 1960.
Neneh Cherry – “Homebrew” Love her! Also check out her album “Man”.
Beats International – “Let Them Eat Bingo” Fatboy Slim right before he changed his name.
