Amazon.com is playing Santa this year with a few Yuletide tracks that are completely free to download. I suggest you snap these up:
1. Angels We Have Heard on High by Brian Setzer Orchestra
Download
Brian Setzer has two great Christmas albums and this track gives you a taste of the rock-a-billy big band style at which he excels.
2. Elf's Lament by Barenaked Ladies with Michael Buble
Download
I don't care what anyone says: Old school BNL was pretty fantastic. Their Christmas album is kind of a letdown on the whole, but this track delivers and the unexpected pairing with Buble actually works.
3. Love Came Down at Christmas by Jars of Clay
Download
This song is literally a classic--written in 1885 to the tune of a traditional Irish melody. You can hear a MIDI version of the original here.
4. We Three Kings by Dave Brubeck
Download
A jazzy rendition from a talented musician.
Want more? Check out the Free Christmas Music Blog for more (legal) site suggestions. I also recommend trying your luck in the Hype Machine.
Know of any other places to get free Christmas tunes? Leave a comment! But don't recommend anything illegal. Santa's watching.
