Christmas (Jorma Kaukonen album)

Christmas is a holiday-themed studio album by guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, released in 1996. The album departs from Kaukonen's usual blues and folk repertoire, featuring arrangements of traditional Christmas carols and hymns, performed primarily on acoustic guitar. The instrumentation is generally sparse, highlighting Kaukonen's fingerpicking style and vocals. The tracklist includes well-known Christmas classics such as "Silent Night," "Away in a Manger," "What Child Is This?" and "O Holy Night." The album offers a contemplative and understated take on Christmas music, reflecting a more introspective and spiritual interpretation of the holiday.
