Atlantic Standards Christmas  provides the listener with a variety of famous East Coast artists offering up yuletide standards and unique originals.  On this disc you will find new seasonal recordings by The Cottars and J.P Cormier, as well as a hard to find tune by the late, Ron Hynes.

This collection is destined to become a Christmas staple.  Put a log on the fire, sit back with an eggnog, and sing along!

“It makes perfect sense that the third volume in the highly successful Atlantic Standards series be a Christmas CD.  Our best singers are here:  the youthful beauty of the voices of The Cottars and Aselin Debison, the more mature harmonies of The Ennis Sisters and TheRankin Sisters.  The rowdy Newfoundland groups, Great Big Sea, The Fables, and The Irish Descendants impress us with their vocals, trading off verses and harmonies.  And our songwriters find great inspiration, and manage to create new songs that match the emotions and memories of the Christmas classics.  Lennie Gallant takes the voice of The Innkeeper in this version of the Christmas story, J.P. Cormier debuts a brand-new song for this collection, again from that night in Bethlehem, and the late Ron Hynes presents a rare track from his rich songbook.” – Bob Mersereau

Atlantic Standards Christmas is available now where CDs are sold.
