Various Artists – A Very DjPaulT Christmas (US Compilation)

  BURNING THE GROUND HOLIDAY EXCLUSIVE

 

NEW Bonus Tracks!

Season’s Greetings! I originally put this collection together for Christmas 2020. I wanted to bring it back this year for those who are new to Burning The Ground or those who may have missed it the first time around.

I hope that this Christmas compilation will become part of your holiday tradition every year. I put together some of my favorites as well as some well-known and lesser-known Christmas tracks.

My Christmas Wish is that this holiday season finds you all safe and well.

-DjPaulT

Merry Christmas, Paul! Thanks for including Sinéad O’Connor’s amazing “Silent Night”. Like “NCTY”, this one blew me away for its simplicity and vocal presence

Thank you Paul for such a great choice of Christmas songs.

If I can, I would like to have the instrumental version of the PSB song “It Doesn’t Often Snow At Christmas”, in case someone reading this have it in FLAC format.
Have a nice stay hopefully with your family / or the people who care the most for you.

Goodness me, Paul. How come I had never heard “Silent Night” by Sinead before? I´m melting. Thank you so much for this song alone. I myself do not celebrate Christmas but that does not mean I don´t appreciate songs of the season. Tears in my eyes, would you believe it….

Merry Christmas to all you lovely people out there.

Dearest Paul, Many sincere thanks for this newly expanded Christmas compilation. I so love these personally created digital “mix tapes” curated by you. You are beautifully eclectic in your tastes, and I am so grateful for the time you spend on them too! It’s been a great year for music from you Paul! We can always expect the very best in songs from you. So much of what you post isn’t available elsewhere. I really do try to seek out the music I love at music retailers, but unfortunately there is so much missing and even digital downloads don’t have… Read more »

Hi Paul. As I have your previous versions already I went straight to the two new additions.

The Madonna track seems to from the 1986 CD which is good as the later remasters are horribly brickwalled.

But the Garth track is I think from a later compilation (possibly Ultimate Hits?) rather than the original 1992 CD issue of The Chase. That’s a shame because the version used is brickwalled…the 1992 CD wasn’t and had much better dynamic range.

Thank you very much. What a wonderful compilation. Merry Christmas to you. While the meaning behind “We Shall Be Free is clear,” be sure to listen to other Garth Brooks Christmas song, “Ugly Christmas Sweater.” It might never leave your head. Happy Christmas.
