UPDATE: If you downloaded the Alternate Root Holiday Sampler immediately, as I did, you may have missed a track that was inadvertently left out of the zip file--"Up On The Housetop" by Elaine Romanelli. The error has been corrected and we folks who jumped too quickly may want to download the set again to have the complete Holiday Sampler as it was intended. By way of making it up to her, I've added a YouTube video of Elaine's live performance of "Up On The Housetop", recorded for the 2010 Holiday Jukebox, just below the playlist.
Another of the big free annual holiday compilations arrived today! The 2011 Alternate Root Holiday Sampler. I believe this is the third compilation from the on-line (and on television) Roots music magazine, Alternate Root and they are always amazing collections of Americana and everything from Blues to Bluegrass. As with the Paste Sampler, there are some we've heard and plenty we haven't.
