The holiday season is now in full swing and the BC Music Goodie Bag is celebrating by delivering a virtual stocking full of goodies for all music fans. Take a peak at and amend your wish list for Santa accordingly.
Elvis Presley and Martina McBride – "Blue Christmas"
This year holiday music could be heard over many radio stations and in every store you visited weeks before anyone sat down for Thanksgiving dinner. While it runs the risk of becoming old news before mid-December, most still turn to these CDs to get in the spirit whether we're relaxing in front of a fire, making out our holiday cards, or trimming the tree.
Thanks to technical advances and digital editing, we have a special treat for readers of this feature: A duet with the King and a princess of country music. Check out the YouTube video of Elvis Presley and Martina McBride singing "Blue Christmas."
You'll most likely recognize the original clip that was used to make this montage; it's been around for quite some time. The single is off the album, released last month by Sony BMG. Elvis Presley Christmas Duets will give you ten of these after-the-fact duets and three bonus Christmas songs by Elvis alone. The Amazon page (found by clicking the ad below) has a related-media video, or you can look at photos, behind the scenes footage, and the album's EPK at splash cast.
Jamie Foxx – "Just Like Me" (feat. T.I.)
The video to "Just Like Me", the latest single from Foxx's upcoming album was made available to YouTube viewers today. There's no need to go hunt it down, however, we have it embedded below.
Directed by film director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour), the video is a modern day twist on the classic song "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better." In the end, of course, Foxx comes to realize his co-star is more like him than he wanted to first admit.
Intuition, which carries the single, will be released December 16 and is Foxx's third album.
The Fray – "You Found Me"
"You Found Me" is the lead single from the upcoming album from the Fray. The self-titled release will hit stores and internet outlets February 3. 2009, but this single is already available via Amazon, iTunes, and the band's website.
Scroll down to check out the video for this song, which made its premiere as the backdrop for the promo video for the upcoming season of Lost.

When I heard Elvis Presley's wonderful version of the song "Blue Christmas" December 1957, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined it's future!

I have been enjoying this new Elvis album and actually created a page about it at Elvis Presley Christmas Duets. There is a lot of information on the page plus a link to another page that discusses the new Sing With the King of Rock'n'Roll promotion that Sony BMG has going. I sang a duet with Elvis -- and it was scary -- I'm not much of a singer! Please visit!
