“Witnesses of Christmas”
by Jason F. Wright

I love having Christmas themed books on my coffee and end tables that everyone can enjoy during this special time of year like. I’m betting you do too so I’m including…

“Witnesses of Christmas, A Musical Journey Through the Nativity of Jesus the Christ”, by my friend, Jason F. Wright, with Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four, in my gift-giving.

It’s an adaptation of the narration and music from the original stage production of Joy to the World: A Sacred Celebration, a production conceived of, performed by, and produced by Jenny, that Jason would write the script for and narrate—as a shepherd named David.

This first half of the book includes the script, sheet music, and QR code links to performance recordings and accompaniment tract to re-create a Nativity experience for readers unlike anything they’ve seen, heard, or read before.

The second half explains how readers can adopt five of Christ’s attributes to become better people, encouraging us all to try to live the kind of life that Christ’s life exemplified.

It will enrich your lives and those you chose to share it with, just like the production itself.

Kelly Clarkson dropped her Christmas album during the holidays last year and the spunky single, “Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You),” became an instant favorite!

This year we’re hearing more of another, “Santa Can’t You Hear Me,” with Arianna Grande.  I love every track on this sensational album!

I’m psyched to add autographed copies of “When Christmas Comes Around”to my gift-away bundles!

Says Kelly: "We are probably all in very different places emotionally ‘when Christmas comes around.’ Some consumed with a new love, some reminded of loss, some with optimism, others for much deserved time away from the chaos our work lives can sometimes bring us. I wanted everyone to be able to connect to a message on this album. While change can be unpredictable there is no better time of year to breathe hope into one’s life and let possibility wander.” .

“When Christmas Comes Around”

Her super fun version of “Jingle Bells” is also fabulous gift-wrapping music that I, for one, will be employing in the wee hours of Christmas morn!

Treat yourself and fill a few stockings with Behold

ED SHEERAN & ELTON JOHN: Merry Christmas

Know what doesn’t happen every day? Ed Sheeran and Elton John collaborations, but it did last year when they released the oh-so-holly-jolly single “Merry Christmas”!

This marked Ed Sheeran’s first Christmas recording and only the second for Elton John. They pulled out all the stops, and made this over-the-top everything Christmas the merriest it could possibly be.

ROB THOMAS: Something About Christmas Time

Rob Thomas released his first Christmas album last year and I’ve been waiting for months to be able to start playing “Something About Christmas Time” once again.

It is a beautiful mix of the new, like “Small Town Christmas”, the old, with covers of Bryan Adams and Ray Charles recordings, and some really lovely collaborations with friends.

Here's a link to help you on your way: Something About Christmas Time

Christmas comes but once a year, and I want THIS year to be the most joyful of them all! If, like me, more “stuff” is something you can do without, get yourself and your friends, loved ones, co-workers, and everyone else on your list the gift of music instead.

I hope my ‘Merry Music Musts’ list helps you choose a few gems!

New Christmas Albums from Norah Jones & Pentatonix!

The holidays are nearly here, and new music for this year’s soundtrack to turkey dinners, shopping sprees, gathering’s with family and friends, and Santa’s arrival has already started dropping!

There are two REALLY EXCITING new albums, full of fabulous new additions to my playlist, that I can’t wait to tell you about!

“I Dream of Christmas,” from Norah Jones, and“Evergreen,” from Pentatonix!

Soulful songstress, Norah Jones, has created her very first holiday album ever! “I Dream of Christmas” includes 13 tracks in all, 6 of them brand-new original pieces. What a lovely surprise this is!

I was able to sit down with Norah for a long lovely chat that you’ll be able to listen to on my podcast, LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah.

The episode will drop October 26! We both profess our love for Christmas music all year long, and we talk about our favorites from the album and what makes them so.

“Christmas Calling” is the single released ahead of the album, and Norah confesses that of all the new music, she has a particular fondness for this one. I have my own favorite, and you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out which it is. (But let me say, I see MANY dedications in it’s future!)

While the album is imbued with the mellow, melancholy sound we turn to Norah to provide, it is also warm, welcoming, and brimming with belief in all that is good and hopeful.

The best news? It’s available RIGHT NOW! Dream a little dream with Norah; download 13 of your new favorites today!

Get: I DREAM OF CHRISTMAS

Know who else is supplying a whole new album’s worth of holiday happiness? Pentatonix! With their upcoming (October 29th) release of their 6th holiday themed album, “Evergreen”.

The beloved a cappella quintet has become practically synonymous with Christmas on the Delilah radio show and I can’t wait to add their new tracks to my merry musical mix!

The group has already released the first single , "It’s Been a Long, Long Time", which now that I’ve heard it, seems long, long overdue. Yes, it’s THAT good! The deluxe album contains a whopping 14 new tracks that we’ll all be playing on repeat!

4 of the 5 members joined me on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah earlier this year. It was an incredible opportunity to get to know these amazing individuals whose blended voices give us the gift of the unique Pentatonix sound - so be sure to listen in.

Oh! And if you pre-order the album, you’ll automatically get a download for “It’s Been a Long, Long Time.” That’s an offer I wouldn’t pass up!

Pre-Order EVERGREEN, and Watch the Video for "It’s Been a Long, Long Time."

Duncan Laurence: Arcade

Who is Duncan Lawrence? Get used to hearing his name. We’re swooning over his music!

Duncan is a a Dutch singer-songwriter who won the Eurovision Song Contest competition in 2019. Since then, this once small-town boy has been traveling the globe, sharing his story and his musical talents to wild enthusiasm.

He’s recently released his first full studio album, Small Town Boy,  and with it, the centerpiece single, Arcade, (the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest winner) of which this has been said: “Therein, driving percussion and rousing strings send the “small town boy in a big arcade” reeling through love lost.”

Arcade is beautiful, haunting and somewhat heartbreaking, but oh-so-relatable, because who among us hasn’t felt (at least once in our life) the exasperated sense of hopeless romance when he sings, “loving you is a losing game…”?

Pentatonix: The Lucky Ones

Three-time Grammy® Award-winning and multi-platinum selling Pentatonix is showing us some love this Valentine’s with the release of another full-studio album, The Lucky Ones.

It’s the group’s first full-length original album since 2015, when their self-titled album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart.

The Lucky Ones contain 11 tracks full of the complex harmonies and infectious melodies we’ve come to expect from this group that embodies the term “unique”.

The titular single, The Lucky Ones, is a reflective testament to the power of perseverance and gratitude, as these lyrics indicate: “Look how far we've come // And it was all so unexpected // We were broke and we were young // But somehow we stayed connected."

You’re going to love Coffee In Bed, and I hope your Valentine spoils you with a gift of the download, and the real deal too. While you sip your cuppa joe, enjoy the entire album!

They are gifting us, this holiday season, their first Christmas album “A Drummer Boy Christmas,” 13 tracks of awe-inspiring performances, including, of course, “Little Drummer Boy” which bowled over the crowd at last year’s CMA Country Christmas and is one of my top favorite Christmas songs!

Said Joel in a recent interview, “I don’t want to get so far that I get too swallowed up in the despair of the influx of information that is getting passed around at an incredible rate. I don’t believe the world is getting worse. I believe that if you really focus on how far we’ve come, it’s really getting better.” Amen.

Francesca Battistelli - This Christmas

This Christmas, a new 14-track collection, with a mix of originals and Christmas classics is the second Christmas album for Grammy® Award-winning artist, Francesca Battistelli. It features a spine-tingling a cappella rendition of “Silent Night,” as well as the chart-topping single, “Messiah,” along with fun favorites like a remastered version of “Marshmallow World.”

The album started with a bang, going straight to the top of the iTunes Holiday Chart while the single, “Behold Him,” a ballad for all those struggling, landed in the top 5 iTunes Holiday Songs. The cover art, a textile piece of folk art itself .was hand-sewn and knitted by designer, Jessica Dance, and is almost reason enough to pick up the LP.

Says Battistelli, “I know that for many people, the Christmas season can be very difficult. My prayer is that these songs offer hope, glorify Jesus, bring joy (and maybe even some laughter!), and truly bless you, now and in the years to come.”

Christmas Music is Here!

Oh my word, how I LOVE Christmas!

The Delilah show has been Your Christmas Station for several decades now, and along with the tried and true (and able to sing-along-to) carols we all know and love, I’m like a kid opening their stocking when I gleefully unwrap all the newer holiday tunes of the season.

Sometimes, through the beautiful instruments, harmonious melodies, or humorous lyrics, I become so entranced and drawn into the spirit of the music, my ears almost pick up what I think to be the prancing and pawing of each little reindeer hoof, gently alighting upon my rooftop. Do you hear what I hear?

Here’s a run-down of some of the best newer Christmas music - I recommend you add them all to your Christmas play list!

Kacey Musgraves: A Very Kacey Christmas

Some thought it early in the game for country sweetheart, Kacey Musgraves, to release a holiday album in 2016, but the collection has proven to be anything but premature! In fact, it seems like it could have been something we all grew up with, alongside the silvery tinsel and chunky Christmas tree lights with half the paint missing from each bulb.

Kacey blends classy with kitsch on this already beloved and very nostalgic holiday endeavor. If you’re anything like me, you’ll love Christmas Don't Be Late, A Willie Nice Christmas (featuring Willie Nelson and Trigger) and Ribbons & Bows.

But don’t take my word for it. Read more about A Very Kacey Christmas HERE then purchase it for your own collection!

for KING & COUNTRY: Christmas / Live from Phoenix

I’ve been singing from the rooftops about the fabulous group, for King & Country for several years now. If you have yet to jump on the bandwagon, I bet you will now that they’ve had a mega cross-over hit with God Only Knows!

For the last few Christmas seasons, I’ve been recommending the Burn the Ships album, and this year, I am encouraging you to take a listen to their collection Christmas / Live from Phoenix. You’ll find their music to be uplifting, spiritual, and alive with incredible harmony!

Idina Menzel: A Season of Love

You may be familiar with Idina Menzel because of her iconic role in Frozen and that ONE song that’s been in our head since it’s release, Let It Go… But here’s another reason to get to know this super talented actress and songstress, she’s released a Christmas album with a whopping 18 tracks to it, including several duets with folks such as Ariana Grande, Billy Porter, Josh Gad, and her talented hubby, Aaron Lohr.

The duet with Ariana, A Hand for Mrs. Claus, is an original, written by the composers of the Frozen soundtrack, Kristen Anderson-Lopes and Robert Lopez. It puts me in a cookie-baking mood for sure! I’m equally impressed with the new song by Idina, At This Table, that she wrote with Jonas Myrin. It’s all about celebrating diversity and embracing those different from us during the holiday season!

A Season of Love also includes classics like, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Ave Maria, and I’ll Be Home For Christmas, as well as many new numbers that will wrap you in the spirit of love all season long. This is a must have for your collection!

Matt Nathanson: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) & River

Bay Area singer songwriter Matt Nathanson is a delightful and insightful guy that’s a BIG favorite of a family member who introduced me to his music. He’s just released a couple of singles that deserve our attention: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home,) and River. I love both, and am sharing HIS thoughts about these songs and what they mean to him, because it so perfectly captures his spirit and provides a compelling reason to give them a listen!

“The first time I heard Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) was U2’s cover of it for the A Very Special Christmas charity album. I loved how the song felt like a celebration, but had this thread of sadness and longing running through it. For me, the holidays have always felt like that. Friends and family coming together at the end of the year, the beauty and starkness of winter contrasted with all the warmth of togetherness, joy and longing… This song is magical like that. It captures it all.”

and…

”Joni Mitchell is one of the greatest songwriters we have. A treasure. And this (RIver) isn’t a holiday song, per se, but it's become one over the years. Whenever I hear it, I’m immediately transported to the time and place she is singing about; Los Angeles in the 70s, bouncing off the superficial and the never-changing seasons… longing for a move back home, to the place she grew up and the ease and simplicity of youth.”

Get to know Matt, you’ll be glad you did!

Natalie Grant & Danny Gokey: The Prayer

Grammy nominated vocalists Natalie Grant and Danny Gokey released their version of the contemporary classic, The Prayer, last Christmas season; it’s now available to purchase as a single and if you don’t have any other music by this power duo, make sure you have The Prayer!

2019 is the fourth year the two have conducted a branded tour, Celebrate Christmas, and The Prayer has been a highlight of each and every performance, at each and every venue. You will be moved, this I promise.

Jonas Brothers: Like It’s Christmas

You could be in the Grinchiest state of mind, but when Grammy nominated funsters Jonas Brothers are heard, your heart is sure to grow at least three sizes!

Their new holiday single Like It’s Christmas. is comprised of wistful guitar, sweeping piano, handclaps, and, of course… sleigh bells! The wonderfully warm hook rings out over boisterous horns as the boys sing, “You make every day feel like it’s Christmas.” Yep, they DO have that affect on me!

Get Like It’s Christmas

Jonas Brothers resume the second leg of their “Happiness Begins Tour,” which you can catch in several venues throughout the country, now until December 14th.

John Legend: A Legendary Christmas

Swoon-worthy and critically acclaimed, multi-platinum singer-songwriter, John Legend, released his first Christmas album, A Legendary Christmas last year so it’s still “new” to me and probably many of you as well.

Some of my favorite tracks are What Christmas Means to Me, with the legendary Stevie Wonder playing along on his harmonica! The magical, Christmas Time is Here, and the fun, Purple Snow Flakes, which became Delilah Jr’s favorite the second she heard it! (Can you guess her favorite color?!)

Go ahead, let John Legend croon as you swoon…

Music moves us, soothes us, uplifts, comforts, and excites us… and it’s almost a necessary ingredient to a well-rounded Christmas celebration.
I hope you enjoy these picks, which are definitely some of my favorite things, and that you all have a merry, and musical Christmas!
