I've got a David Grisman Christmas CD that never is dumb. Same with the Mike Marshall one.

OK, they're both mandolin players.

i know...the instrumentals aren't too shabby. As the general rule though i don't really get artists making Christmas albums.

"oh wow the stones got together to make a new album lets see whats on it: Jingle bells, wish you a merry Christmas, silent night, and noel" it all seems kind of silly. yeah good songs, but do i really need all my favorite artists singing 12 days of Christmas on their exclusive Christmas album? not really.
