Moments Worth Listening For
The way the pedal steel mimics a lonesome winter wind on the intro to White Christmas.
The jaunty, Texas-swing fiddle break that injects a dance-hall energy into Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.
The shift from reverent storytelling to a firm, gospel-tinged plea in the chorus of For Christ’s Sake, It’s Christmas.
