Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas talks to folk new age guitarist about his new Christmas album, his fifth, Twilight, The Magic Of Christmas. They also talk about his journey from playing guitar in a rock band to John Denver’s influence, which led him to a four-album deal (all Christmas albums). Bob also shares the story of how he actually connected with John Denver’s family, and was invited to perform with members of John’s original band. And he talks about how different the new album is from everything he’s previously done (including his cover of the Snow Miser/Heat Miser song)!

Title: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: A Hearth’s Warming Tail
Welcome to episode 69 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I’ll be talking about the phenomenal 1987 compilation, “Mint Sound’s X’mas Album.”
When it comes to Japanese Christmas compilations from the 1980s, Yen Records’ “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” seems to get most of the attention. It’s a great, groundbreaking album, but I don’t think it holds a candle to Mint Sound’s. I actually prefer “Winter Lounge” to “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” but I think this one outshines them both. It has a great mix of songs and you never forget that you’re listening to a Christmas album. A few of the songs from Yen Records are a bit on the esoteric side.
One thing I think about when listening to my Japanese albums is how much return value they have. In other words, is this something I’d listen to repeatedly, or only when I’m dusting it off for the podcast? On the original vinyl, there’s not a single song I’d skip over. I’ve listened to the entire album dozens and dozens of times, and it holds up well to repeated listens. This is one of a dozen or so albums that I’d recommend to anyone wanting to start a collection of Japanese Christmas music.
That said, be sure to listen in on Christmas Day for an even bigger treat. As I started collecting Japanese Christmas music, I developed an appreciation for City Pop. I kept hoping to find a previously unknown City Pop Christmas collection. One of the guys in Japan uncovered just that about a year ago, and I finally managed to get a copy. It’s a spectacular collection you can’t hear anywhere else, and you’re sure to enjoy it!
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

You have no idea how much Christmas I have crammed into this episode.
First up there’s a quick recommendation of one of my favourite Christmas films.
It’s called Christmas, Again and I love it.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3894188/
Next up is a treat for any fans of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Nate Hance has done a fantastic Jazz take on the Vince Guaraldi soundtrack.
Have a listen here:
https://natehance.bandcamp.com/album/a-charlie-brown-christmas-nhanced
Then it’s Do You Hear What I Hear with Bob Baker, and he’s wishing us a Happy or Merry Christmas.
Then, thanks to our listener Timothy Lewis, I have a listen to 5 Christmas songs from the US and say if I’ve ever heard them before.
Here they are:
Hard Candy Christmas – Dolly Parton
https://youtu.be/GOzi-gD7-ts
Christmas in Dixie – Alabama
https://youtu.be/vjGbi5nz-8A
Tennessee Christmas – Amy Grant
https://youtu.be/pKwOByDgW3I
Colorado Christmas – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
https://youtu.be/8b3hfepgZxg
Santa Claus is Watching You – Ray Stevens
https://youtu.be/mER2fGuSqF8
Then we have Scott Newman reading another interesting story about the life of the real Saint Nicholas. Sounds like old Saint Nick had a bit of temper on him.
Next up we have, for the 3rd year in a row, the wonderful Shelli Arnold telling us all about her Christmas village. You have to check out the pictures on Facebook to truly appreciate it.
Then Natalie Bickel tells us the story of how she found out the truth about Santa when she was only 6!
Natalie is the author of The Christmas Clue a delightful children’s book that could be the perfect start to a yearly tradition.
Check it out here:
Then it’s one of the laziest versions of A Christmas Carol I’ve ever covered. It could’ve been so good, but instead was naff.
It’s A Sesame Street Christmas Carol, don’t watch it:
Then it’s the quiz and we have Adam Kennedy on to try his luck and he does okay.
Adam has a very funny Christmas album that you need to listen to:
https://adamkennedy.bandcamp.com/album/literally-shrunk-down-and-living-in-my-christmas-village
Then we have Bob Baker’s final Wonderful Christmastime of the year and he gives us 10 great suggestions for how to make the season bright.
This episode’s recommendation is I’m Not Complaining with Robin and Juno, a wonderful podcast hosted by the world’s youngest podcasters.
Have a listen:
The other recommendation is my book. Thursday Night’s Alright by Jack Andrews.
It’s great.
After the credits we have Between The Lights by E F Benson read by Tony Dixon.
Tony Dixon is the host of Happy Halloween podcast which is great:
