This holiday season, I am sharing some of my favorite Christmas music – and my wife and I put this incredibly beautiful album on yesterday and listened to it for hours:
It’s A Hall & Oates Christmas!
It’s the last album the duo recorded – but they went out on an incredible high note – let’s take a look at the album…
All Hail Hall & Oates!
Yes, they were one of America’s musical treasures, the best selling duo of the 80’s, and this holiday season it’s time to celebrate their classic Christmas album!
“Home For Christmas”
“Home For Christmas” is Daryl Hall & John Oates’ first full length album of Christmas music. It was released in 2006, and it a beautiful collection of new and timeless Christmas music…
The CD features two new songs written by Hall & Oates: “No Child Should Ever Cry on Christmas” and “Home for Christmas.”
Here are Hall & Oates performing a gorgeous version of “The Christmas Song” on “Live From Daryl’s House”:
The CD also includes a version of “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”, which became their second number one Adult Contemporary hit. Here is the live version of “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”:
“Jingle Bell Rock!”
Yes, Hall & Oates had an amazing career, and even had a huge Christmas hit in the 80’s with this fun take on a classic holiday jingle…check out the hilariously retro music video for “Jingle Bell Rock” here:
If you don’t have the Hall & Oates Christmas album, grab it now – it’s terrific holiday music!
Sadly, I have to note that the duo made headlines recently due to a legal squabble…here are the details if you want to know more:
It’s a sad end for this brilliant duo…and it doesn’t seem like there will be a reconciliation…so I want to stay focused on the timeless music they made together.
I shared a look at some other great songs like this:
Yes, “When The Morning Comes” is a great song from “Abandoned Luncheonette” – click here to see more of their great album cuts:
I also took a look at album openers, the first cut on some of their best albums like this one:
I know that “X-Static” was one of their worst selling albums, but it’s so great – click here to see why!
And finally, I leave you with their most memorable song – performed live in 2017 – the gorgeous “She’s Gone:”

Great music, John!

I sure hope they can work past their problems. It’s sad to think that a longtime collaboration among musician friends would end so badly.

John, I just checked, and I do not own a single album of Christmas songs by anyone. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
