Preston's Top 10 Eclectic Christmas Music Rundown List

I know you were thinking "If Preston would just post a list of his top 10 favorite Christmas albums...especially the folky, hipster-y ones....I would just be complete." Wait no longer!

10.  Josh Wilson - Noel

Josh Wilson has more talent in his pinky toe than I do in my entire body, for a 1000 lifetimes.  Dude is a music machine....

9.  Phil Wickham - Songs for Christmas

Great musician, great instrumentalist with a voice like butter.  And we all know how good butter is.

8.  Sleeping at Last - Christmas Collection

Some great music from both the religious and secular genres of Christmas music.  Have a nice traditional feel with a great contemporary slant.  

7.  Folk Angel - Glad Tidings & Christmas Songs

Their name is "Folk Angel."  That's all it took to get my attention.  

6.  Hillsong - We Have a Savior & Born is the King

Great folk takes on some of our favorite Christmas Hymns with your typical Hillsong sound embedded.  

5.  The ZOE Group - Here With Us 

A cappella worship for Advent and Christmas.  Covers some of my favorite contemporary seasonal music.  Plus these are just good people and you should support them!  

4.  Chris Tomlin (& Friends) - Glory in the Highest

Easily the best song on this record is the a cappella rendition of "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" led by Christy Nockels...wow. 

3.  Robbie Seay - December Vol. 2

An awesome little EP from the RSB.  Robbie Seay has such a cool voice and I love the folk rock feel of these songs.  Especially on Come O Come Emmauel where they just blast the banjo in the background.  

2.  Ordinary Time - In the Town of David

If you have never heard of Ordinary Time, then you have wasted your time on the internet!  This folk trio puts together liturgical bluegrass music that will transport you to another place and time.  It has everything you would want from a folk music album.  

1.  Bebo Norman - Christmas From the Realms of Glory

This album has been out for several years and is one of those that I listen to year round.  Bebo just finished up his final tour forever, so he gets extra points which vaulted him to this number 1 spot.  The first time I heard "Come and Worship" the hair on my neck stood straight up.  This is a great album all the way around.  Another great song on the album is "The Rebel Jesus," Norman's take on a classic by Jackson Brown. 

Well there you go.  If you are a Spotify user you can look me up and listen to these albums and many more on my Christmas Playlist, or you can just use the player below.
