A Familyre Christmas Vol 2

The Sounds Familyre record label (sort-of home to bands like Danielson Famile, Sufjan Stevens, Woven Hand, and Soul-Junk) is doing that thing that they did last year: Putting up a new Christmas song for free download on their blog -- one each day, every day -- until Christmas.

All the songs from last year are also up for your downloading pleasure. Elin Smith's rendition of "Oh Holy Night" is breathtaking.

Now that I've had the chance to listen to the whole thing, I gotta say this is much better than Vol 1.

My favorites are the ones by Lenny Smith, Ortolan, Josh Stamper, The Singing Mechanic, Ben + Vesper, and Sufjan Stevens. And that's about a third of the album right there.
