White Christmas by America

'White Christmas' by America
from the album 'Holiday Harmony' (2002)

So, as I was driving around I heard this song on one of the Sirius XM channels. It's 'White Christmas' by the group America. I'd never heard it before. It sounds like 'Tin Man', crossed with 'White Christmas'. Who did this ?! Was this song some obscurity from the 1970s ?! 

It turns out it's from a 2002 vinyl LP, called 'Holiday Harmony', produced by Andrew Gold (of 'Lonely Boy' fame) and released by Rhino Records. A CD was issued in 2010, and nowadays there is a digital download available, too.

Along with some standards, the album features some original compositions from Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, as well as Bunnell and Andrew Gold.

I think 'White Christmas' is the best track, and overall, 'Holiday Harmony' is a pretty decent album. Most of the songs have the slightly overproduced, smooth rock sound that America exemplified / exemplifies. I have to say that I'd rather listen to 'Holiday Harmony', that any Christmas song by Mariah Carey............
